OPPORTUNITY

Our goal is to provide students a pathway of success to and through college. As soon as students join the program, we begin to set their sights on college. We provide students the tools and skills needed to be successful in college and beyond.

We believe it is important to find the path that is the right fit for each student. In addition to private school placement support, we also assist families with the lottery system within the Hartford Schools. Capitol Squash’s private school and college placement programs include standardized test and interview preparation, school visits, and financial aid and application support.

We continue to provide guidance and support to students through the completion of college and as they embark on their careers.

Capitol Squash students learn the value of giving back through community service projects. They also are able to broaden their horizons through travel and camp opportunities including attending squash, sleepaway, and local day camps.

"Capitol Squash has provided me with opportunities beyond imagination. I got to meet people from all over, go to a private school, and help guide younger generations. These have all challenged me to become a better version of myself and think not about what others can do for me, but what I can do for others that will change their life."

"This is about more than just me. My grandmother didn’t finish middle school, my mother didn’t finish high school. But now I’ll be the first in my family to attend college, a sign of progress and opportunity for all of us. Being at Capitol Squash taught me that there is no limit to what I can achieve."

"Being a Hispanic girl born and raised in Hartford, attending a private high school and a good college seemed out of reach. Capitol Squash gave me the ability to not only imagine that future for myself, but to pursue it and succeed. The program supported me non stop throughout middle school, high school, and now Vassar College."
