Capital Day School
GOVERNOR'S CUP

Capital Day School participates in the Governor’s Cup competition, sponsored by the Kentucky Association for Academic Competition, with both elementary (grades 4 and 5) and middle grades (6 through 8) teams.  Students are offered five areas of written assessment: Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Arts and Humanities, plus Written Composition.  There are teams for Future Problem Solving (FPS) and Quick Recall (QR) for both age groups.  Sixth grade students may also participate in the Sixth Grade Showcase, a competition solely for their age group which includes five areas of written assessment and Quick Recall.

Individual students may compete in as many as three events.  Student winners and FPS and QR teams advance from District to Regional competition, and middle grade competitors may advance to State level competition.

Tryouts and practice for Governor’s Cup begin in the fall, and competitions are held from late January through early March. Our students compete very well in Governor’s Cup, with students advancing to the highest levels of competition every year.
