Capitol Hill Day School is an independent, progressive Pre-K4 through 8th grade school located on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. We are a close-knit and diverse community located in 2 historic buildings in the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood, and we make abundant use of our neighborhood and the city as an extended classroom. Experiences outside the classroom through our unparalleled Field Education program add vast new dimensions to what happens inside, opening up the world to our students.
Mission: Capitol Hill Day School deeply engages a diverse community of students in connecting the classroom to the larger world, supporting each child in developing the confidence, compassion, and intellectual capacity to live a life of purpose and value.
Philosophy: Capitol Hill Day School is an independent, coeducational school for students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Together, it's academic day program, and auxiliary programs in the late afternoon and summer, reflect the School's commitment to create a community of students from varying backgrounds in which individual differences are respected and valued.
What Makes Us Special: 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.
