Overview

Mission

To prepare all students, regardless of background or circumstance, to reach their full potential in college, career, and life in order to become agents of change in their communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Capital village pcs is a small learning community where learners take the lead, grow together, and change the world. We are an intentionally small middle school with no more than 45 students per grade level and two teachers in our classrooms. Our community is a village focused on the interests, needs, and ambitions of each individual learner so that all learners can grow. We teach rigorous content through student-led projects that blend common core standards with local social justice problems which students are empowered to design solutions for. We provide plenty of time during the school day for students to develop their talents, interests, and passions through student-led "passion projects" in courses like dance, entrepreneurship, and art. As an intentionally small community focused on the whole child, capital village pcs is a personalized learning space where all students, regardless of background or circumstance, are propelled toward greatness in college, career, and life.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
