Re: Capital area progressive schools

As per your request I am providing you the details about the CAPS(Capital area progressive schools ) .

Capital Area Progressive Schools (CAPS), a group of five local progressive schools:

Burgundy Farm Country Day School
Capitol Hill Day School
Green Acres School
Friends Community School and
Lowell School facilitated this regional conference to connect and celebrate progressive educators.

Progressive education, a pedagogical movement such as focusing on the whole child and students’ social, emotional, academic, cognitive and physical development; supporting students’ natural curiosity and fostering internal motivation; encouraging active participation of students in their learning, which derives from hands-on experience; and student-driven curriculum that prepares students for active participation in a democratic society.

In addition to local progressive educators and administrators, attendees at the conference included public school teachers and other educators interested in best practices. Twenty-six workshops, panels and discussion groups demonstrated what progressive education is and how it can benefit schools beyond those involved in CAPS.

Academics included in this are:

Philosophy
Faculty
Early Childhood
Elementary
Middle School
Fine and Performing Arts
Library and Technology
Burgundy Center for Wildlife Studies

Also there is a summer program which includes:

Burgundy Center for Wildlife Studies
Burgundy Summer Day Camp
