The Capitol Hill Day School, a well-respected, progressive day school serving 215 boys and girls will be moving to modular classrooms at a temporary space on 1000 Fifth Street, SE while their building is being renovated. As of August 2011, teachers and staff will move into the modular classrooms but will move back into their renovated building at 210 South Carolina Avenue, SE in January 2012. CHDS will also be posting relocation and renovation updates on their website and Construction Wiki.

The school day begins at 8:20 a.m., with most teachers and staff arriving by 8:00 a.m.

The daily dismissal schedule is as follows:

  • Mo/Tu/Th/Fr at 3:05 p.m. for children in Pre-K through 5th grade
  • Wed. at 2:10 p.m. for all students
  • Grades 6 through 8 are dismissed at 3:10 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays, and at 3:40 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The School's After School Program (ASP) is open every day that school is in session, from dismissal until 6:00 p.m. During this time, 10 to 15 ASP staff will be on campus with 50 to 100 children, ages 4 to 14 years old. The school's Field Education Program coordinates over 300 field trips for CHDS students each year, so on any given school day, one or more grades will be spending time off campus. Their field trip calendar, as well as our all-school calendar, are always available online.
