Capstone

At the high school level, the capstone project is a culmination of student work. The project allows a student to explore a topic in which they are interested. In doing so, the student accomplishes quality academic study and research. The project ends with a presentation of learning to faculty, invited guests, and mentors. This generally occurs during the spring, prior to graduation.

The capstone project promotes individualized learning, complimented with in-depth research and presentation of knowledge. A student is able to develop their own long-term research goals to gain insight into a topic that is meaningful to them. The project may be related to a future endeavor, career, or passion. The culmination of work allows students to acquire critical skills and knowledge for their future.
