academics
While squash is the hook of our program, our real goal is improving educational outcomes for our students. Capitol Squash staff work closely with teachers and families to monitor academic progress, identify areas for growth, and develop individualized improvement plans. During academic sessions, students receive homework help, one-on-one tutoring, and engaging academic enrichment from mock debates to vocabulary bees to math competitions. For students in 3rd-7th grade, we focus on building strong literacy skills and a solid academic foundation. For students in 8th-12th grade, we provide SAT preparation, college exploration, and guidance as they prepare for post-secondary life.
"Capitol Squash has introduced me to so many great opportunities that I didn't know I could achieve. Starting from being accepted to a great boarding high school to a great private college. They have been the ones to help and remind me that anything is possible if I work hard for it."

"Capitol Squash has mentored me and provided me with opportunities and resources since the day I joined. They especially helped me with the boarding school application process by bringing me to different campuses to take tours, SAT and interview prep, and assisting with my applications. Now as a first-generation college student, they help me with the financial aid process each year. My family and I are extremely thankful to them."
