Description
The tutoring component of the CAP's program is designed to give full academic support to CAP enrollees and to aid the daily classroom teacher. CAP has a low student to adult ratio that will assure that the child has achieved a mastery of concepts before advancing to the next skill level. The tutoring aspect of CAP's program assists parents who, for whatever reason, are not able to assist their children in their daily quest for excellence. Success of this aspect of the CAP program is focused on the individual and will be measured in three ways: First, whether the child successfully completed the more challenging course Second, whether the child advanced to the next level and Third, whether the child successfully graduated from high school. A less important aggregate measure of success would be that a very high percent of CAP enrollees successfully meet the three aforementioned criteria. The complete measure of success will take several years.

The Community Involvement aspect of the CAP program is designed to emphasize civic responsibility, stress working well with others in group settings and appreciate the arts. This is done through 'hands on' experiences such as on-site girls' and boys' scouting activities, art classes, field trips and participating in leadership activities. Measuring success in this area is subjective and related to the degree of enjoyment and participation by the children as well as their social behavior after the events.

| The primary challenges facing CAP are long range funding and the need for a larger, permanent space so that more students can be served. |
