CAPS, "The Future of Education"

The future of education might be tucked away in the Blue Valley School District's Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) program. CAPS takes an entrepreneurial, innovative approach to education that provides junior and senior high school students with hands-on, real world experience. Learning is student driven; teachers facilitate the learning process through problem-based projects comprised of authentic and relevant work assignments. Students learn the professional skills necessary to succeed in today's fast-paced world, all before entering college or other post-secondary educational opportunities. CAPS is all about students solving real problems, with real tools (used by real professionals), being mentored by real employers, leading to real contribution.
