Located in the northwest quadrant of Calgary, Capitol Hill School serves the vibrant communities of Capitol Hill, Banff Trail, Charleswood, Triwood, and Collingwood. Our school is proud to provide a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where students feel valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential.
At Capitol Hill School, we embrace a holistic approach to education that supports academic, social, emotional, and cultural growth. Guided by the Calgary Board of Education frameworks, our teaching and learning practices emphasize foundational skills in literacy and mathematics while fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Our goal is to ensure that every child develops the confidence and skills needed to thrive in a complex and rapidly changing world.
We integrate technology seamlessly into our learning environments, enabling students to explore, create, and collaborate in innovative ways. Whether through coding projects, digital storytelling, or interactive tools, technology is a key component of how we prepare students for the future. Additionally, project-based learning is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy, providing students with opportunities to engage in meaningful, hands-on projects that connect learning to real-world applications.
Our commitment to differentiated and personalized learning ensures that each student’s unique needs, interests, and abilities are recognized and supported. By tailoring instruction and offering flexible pathways, we help students discover their passions and reach their personal best. We also prioritize student voice and choice in learning, empowering them to take ownership of their education and make meaningful contributions to their school community.
Capitol Hill School values strong partnerships with families, local organizations, and the broader community. We are proud to collaborate with the University of Calgary, offering students enriching opportunities to learn from and alongside academic experts. These partnerships bring fresh perspectives and experiences into our classrooms, enriching our students' understanding and engagement.
Environmental stewardship is also a key part of our school culture. Our iconic greenhouse Geodome serves as a unique learning space where students can connect their education to plants and the land. Through hands-on experiences, students explore sustainability and deepen their appreciation for the environment.
At Capitol Hill School, we strive to create a welcoming, caring, respectful, and safe learning environment where every student feels a sense of belonging. By fostering meaningful relationships, promoting well-being, and celebrating diversity, we prepare our students to succeed academically and personally while contributing positively to their communities.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.
