CAPS Paterson Outperforms Local Schools
CAPS' tailored support and rigorous academic focus empower underserved students to thrive academically, closing achievement gaps and setting a new standard for educational success in the state.
Focus on the Individual
Great, Caring Teachers
STEAM-driven Curriculum
STEAM is a core part of our education. Starting in kindergarten, students study science 5 hours per week—more time than other public schools—including hands-on labs & experiments.
Our low student-to-teacher ratio allows us to provide individualized attention and tutoring for all, including for scholars who are learning English (ELLs), are academically at-risk, or have disabilities.
The secret to a great school is a great teacher in every classroom. CAPS believes, "you are who you hire," which is why we only hire teachers who have a proven track record of success in the classroom.
We believe all of our students are college material.
