Capital School is a co-educational day school that follows a British Curriculum. It is accredited with British standards (BSO) and is recognised as mixed-gender in its UK-related listings. The school is expanding to offer Sixth Form as part of its all-through model.

Inclusion Pathways provide early intervention in partnership with parents and external agencies, with careful monitoring to identify tailored support. The school collaborates with educational psychologists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists as needed, and offers in-class learning support and extended interventions to help students reach their potential.

Affiliation with the United Kingdom is reflected in the British Curriculum and England's National Curriculum, and the school holds British accreditation (BSO). This aligns the school with UK educational standards while delivering UAE-required Arabic and Islamic Studies.

There is no formal religious affiliation. Arabic, Islamic Studies and Moral Education are integrated as part of the UAE curriculum, with Islamic Studies offered for Muslim students. The school emphasises UAE-cultural education within the British curriculum.

School days run Monday to Friday. Foundation Stage hours are 7:15 am–12:30 pm (Fridays 7:15 am–12:00 pm); Primary and Secondary run 7:15 am–2:30 pm (Fridays 7:15 am–12:00 pm). Registration begins at 7:40 am and the first lesson starts at 7:50 am.
