Capital School District offers a diverse program of after-school and summer programs to support student needs. We believe in Meeting the Needs of the Whole Child. In order to support our students we review their needs and provide related programs after school and during the summer. After school scheduling during the school year is based on the building schedule. Summer programming is based on student needs.
