Who We Are

Capital Village PCS is a small learning community where learners take the lead, grow together, and change the world.

Grounded in the principles of EL Education (formerly known as Expeditionary Learning), our students will master academic content through engaging social justice projects.

Who You Are

You believe that school can be different, and you want to use your voice and your skills to help shape an innovative new school model that will ultimately grow to serve hundreds of students across the city.

You are, above all, a learner. Your potential is limitless, because you are constantly growing as a person and as a professional.

You are driven by the belief that all children, regardless of their background or their zip code, can achieve at the highest levels. You believe that it is the job of a school to provide the right supports so every student can succeed, including the implementation of restorative justice practices.

You are team-oriented and love to collaborate with others. You understand that running a successful school is hard work, and you are excited to roll up your sleeves and get to work.
