Centre de Services Scolaire de La Capitale

This Commitment to Success Plan outlines the Capital School Board's strategic direction to foster student success and guarantee their future. It is structured around two main orientations: improving academic success and perseverance for young and adult students by increasing graduation and qualification rates, while simultaneously reducing secondary school dropout rates through enhanced literacy, numeracy, and school transitions; and enriching the educational experience by developing a digital culture, promoting physically active lifestyles, and upgrading institutional buildings. The plan emphasizes the implementation of collaborative approaches and empowers individual schools and centers to develop educational projects tailored to their specific environments and clientele.
