Blue Valley Center For Advanced Professional Studies

Blue Valley Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) is a high school program which operates multiple different magnet programs for students who live within the Blue Valley School District, regardless of whether they attend a Blue Valley school.[3] Each course takes one semester and takes up half of the student's day, with the rest of their time spent at their home high school.
