Keeping you connected.
Resources for Families
You, the parents, are the primary educators of your children. We want you as connected to your child's Capstone experience as possible. Here you can find calendars, connect with your child's classroom and update your information in FACTS, get involved with the Capstone Parent Fellowship, get your Capstone clothing and gear, and catch up on reading First Things at Capstone.

First Things at Capstone articles
- Title
- The Purpose of Education in a Meaningful Life

- Telemachian Fortitude: A Model for Golden Gryphons
- Description
- At Capstone, there are seven virtues we believe embody what it means to be a Golden Gryphon (the “Gryphon Weapons”). In this article, I want to offer an example from the historical church that illustrates the fourth virtue: fortitude. Fortitude means that we Golden Gryphons do hard things, even when they are frightening.
