The Theory of Multiple Intelligences
At The Capitol School, instead of asking, “Is your child smart?” we ask, “How is your child smart?” This fundamental shift reflects our belief that every student possesses unique strengths and ways of learning.
This perspective shapes how we teach and support our students. By identifying and nurturing each child’s specific intelligences, we create personalized learning experiences that inspire confidence and curiosity. Integrating these intelligences across our curriculum ensures students can explore their strengths while developing new skills, fostering a lifelong love for learning.
