Capitol Hill Day School

Capitol Hill Day School offers a style and quality of learning you'll find nowhere else. Children here explore, create, play, and most of all grow-by leaps and bounds, and in the fullest sense of that word. We are a progressive school, building on an educational tradition that puts children at the center of their learning and that has proven its value in the lives of countless students. A key feature of our progressive approach is that a child's social and emotional growth is every bit as important as his or her intellectual development, because we know how much the one contributes to the other. We're a close-knit school in a historic building in a diverse and vibrant neighborhood, and we make abundant use of that neighborhood as an extended classroom. In fact, experiences outside the classroom add vast new dimensions to what happens inside-our Field Education Program is unparalleled, opening up whole new worlds for our students. Visit the School and you'll find that we're a joyful place where young children develop a lifelong love of learning. "There's something sort of magical happening here," one of our parents said recently. We couldn't agree more.
