About

Welcome

Welcome to the Capital School District—where tradition, innovation, and community come together to support every student’s success.

Here, our strategic plan guides everything we do. We are committed to becoming a streamlined, student-centered district that meets the needs of the whole child while celebrating our strong Senator Pride. Our vision is to develop the “Portrait of a Senator”: learners who are respectful, honest, engaged, compassionate, accountable, responsible, and determined.

We achieve this through high-quality teaching and learning in safe, supportive environments. Instruction is standards-based, personalized, and rigorous, with dynamic assessments that ensure every student is challenged and supported.

Rooted in our proud Dover, Delaware heritage, the Capital School District is deeply connected to its community. Our dedicated staff, supportive families, and strong partnerships with local businesses help prepare students for future careers across industries such as banking, manufacturing, hospitality, and agriculture. Our central location also provides access to major business hubs, cultural experiences, and historic landmarks along the East Coast.
