With a dedicated, decorated staff of professionals and a supportive community, Capitol Elementary is justifiably proud of its reputation as a great example of public education. STEAM is the model that embodies the culture of the school has become. The school is onboard with a nationwide initiative that creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators. Instead of isolating subjects as separate schools of thought, the highly qualified teachers use a synergistic approach to teaching the STEAM disciplines.
