Capitol Ideas

The McGuire-Strickland House built in 1820 when Alabama became a state.  It is one of four buildings in our campus located at historic Capitol Park in Tuscaloosa.  Tuscaloosa was the capitol of Alabama from 1826-1846.

I often feel as if I work with a big "Think Tank" of teachers at The Capitol School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  We love trying new activities to create the best possible learning environment for our students. We established the school in 1993 following the leadership of our director, Dr. Barbara S. Rountree.  Dr. Rountree was a professor in the College of Education at The University of Alabama.  It was her dream to open a school that utilized the best practices in education.  Dr. Rountree has traveled the world to see the best schools with capitol ideas.  I hope you enjoy seeing some of these ideas on this blog.  It is my desire to add to the wonderful expansion of thought on educational ideas.
