Caepe School discontinues grades 9-12

STAFF REPORT~ 11/30/2011

The Caepe School in Anthem, announced the termination of high school classes effective Dec. 31 in a release issued on Tuesday.
Caepe School will terminate its upper grade classes and focus solely on grades K-8.
“This was an extremely difficult decision as the school has continually made progress in all areas and had initially begun offering upper classes in 2009. However, the enrollment has recently dropped causing some upper grade classes to be sparsely populated leaving students feeling socially isolated. Because The Caepe School has always been “student centered”, this was quickly identified by faculty and staff members. Staying true to the mission of the school to educate the whole child, it was clear that the social aspect of this age group was not being met,” stated Tamara Lee, Head of the school.
Lee added that personal assistance and guidance will be given to each student enrolled in high school classes to help with their transition to a new school.
