Welcome to The Capitol School

Founded in 1993, The Capitol School offers a world-class education rooted in research-based teaching practices and a commitment to nurturing the unique potential of every student.
Located in historic downtown Tuscaloosa, Alabama, our campus features seven buildings, including the McGuire-Strickland House, one of the oldest wooden structures in the area, symbolizing our connection to the rich history of our community.

We proudly serve students from infancy through high school, embracing an individualized approach to learning. Guided by the Multiple Intelligences framework, our curriculum fosters creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, empowering students to excel academically and develop holistically. From Montessori-based early education to dual-enrollment opportunities for high school students, our programs are designed to inspire a lifelong love of learning.

As Alabama's International School, we welcome a diverse student body representing various cultures and backgrounds. This global perspective enriches our community and prepares students to thrive in a connected world. Our small class sizes and expert teachers ensure personalized attention, helping students achieve their personal and academic goals.
We invite you to explore our innovative programs, dedicated faculty, and vibrant community that make The Capitol School a unique place to learn and grow.
