CAP Art Philosophy
Our class focuses on individual artistic progress. My goal is to foster creativity in the classroom, encouraging and challenging students to reach their full potential. The class emphasizes the process of art-making and its healing affects.

                                                         CAP Humanities Curriculum
CAP offers a humanities curriculum that combines English and Social Studies. It includes history, grammar, literature, vocabulary, current events and cultural exploration. Since Colchester High School requires both World History and U.S. History, CAP alternates these two classes each year as part of its Humanities curriculum.

 
CAP Science Program
The Science classes in CAP are an integration of traditional classroom work, field experiences and activities in “nature’s classroom.”  We attempt to have students learn in a variety of ways that allow them to see and touch what they read about in the classroom.  Mountain hikes, fossil exploration, wetlands trips, Adopt A Salmon program and composting are examples of these hands on learning activities.  Individualized learning activities are also designed when appropriate for some students.

                                                           CAP Physical Education Classes
The CAP Physical Education classes are varied and offer a wide variety of activities so that all students may find enjoyment and be able to engage in a healthier lifestyle.  There is also an attempt by the staff to offer activities that are cross curriculum.  Mountain hikes are integrated with Science curriculum for example to engage the entire person.  Activities are geared toward the seasons with the hope that students will learn how to take full advantage of the opportunities that the Northeast has to offer.

CAP Target Graduation Program
The Target Graduation program serves a number of different needs.  The most common would be to help a student make up deficient credits over and above their present course load in order to meet graduation requirements.  The other typical situation would be when a student would earn their credits primarily through the Target Graduation program.  In both cases, students meet individually with the Target Graduation coordinator to design a plan that is catered to the individual student where assignments are created that meet outcomes and graduation requirements.  These assignments are done at the CAP facility and at home by the students.
