What is CAPS?
Innovation is what will grow our economy and ensure that every family prospers in an increasingly competitive global market. Our students must acquire 21st century skills to be successful in the "Innovation Generation." Blue Valley's Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) inspires students to succeed in the critical areas of Bioscience, Business, Engineering and Human Services.
CAPS is an example of how industry and our educational system can work together to produce personalized learning experiences that prepare the next generation of professionals for 21st century opportunities. Junior and senior level students from all Blue Valley high schools will join together in a unique learning opportunity to deeply explore their interests in a profession-based learning approach. Learning is student driven; teachers facilitate the learning process through problem-based projects comprised of authentic and relevant work assignments.
Students learn the professional skills necessary to succeed in today's fast-paced world, all before entering college or other post-secondary educational opportunities. CAPS is all about students solving real problems, with real tools (used by real professionals), being mentored by real employers, leading to real contribution.
