  • What Académie de la Capitale says it looks for in students

    At AcadeCap, students who thrive are curious, engaged, and open to challenge. They seek learning not just for achievement, but for understanding. They take initiative, solve complex problems collaboratively, and are motivated by purpose. They ask questions, make connections, think critically, and gain confidence by taking meaningful action—whether through academics, community service, or global engagement.

    AcadeCap is best suited for students and families excited by a student-centered journey.

    This is why, in addition to all the admission requirements, the day students spend at AcadeCap helps the students and parents decide whether or not they feel our community is the ideal setting for them to continue their education. It also helps us take note of their ability to contribute and to excel both independently and cooperatively.
