ABOUT CAPITAL CITY SCHOOL
     Capital City School is a K-12 SCUSD school that offers independent study as its primary mode for instruction.  Enrollment at CCS is voluntary.  Students from every school in the district are eligable to attend CCS if they choose to do so.
    Students typically meet individually with their COREteacher a minimum of once weekly at the school site to correct and review homework, and to receive instruction and new assignments.  Students also might be assigned to a variety of additional classes/labs, depending upon their needs.  Some of these assignments include CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) Math, CAHSEE English/Language Arts, Math Support, P. E., and Technology.  Parents and guardians are always welcome to accompany their students to their appointments.  Also, if students need additional help, they may reach their teachers by phone or come to the school for more assistance.  Likewise, parents may call their child's teacher during school hours to discuss their student's progress or any other concerns they may have regarding their child's experience at CCS.
     Our teachers are highly qualified in their assigned disciplines, and our support staff is comprised of highly qualified individuals as well.  The CCS staff works continuously as a team to implement the elements necessary for our school environment to comply with the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
      CCS offers all of the courses that meet the SCUSD requirements for a high school diploma. Our curriculum is California State Content Standards-based and meets CSU A-G entrance requirements. Because of our efforts to meet the academic needs of all of our students through a variety of instructional intervention and support strategies, we also enjoy a Westeren Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) six-year accreditation.
