Senior Capstone
Senior Capstone
This year we are piloting a new program designed to replace senior projects. The Senior Capstone course, worth 2.5 credits, is designed to provide students with the opportunity to synthesize and apply the variety of academic and life skills that they have learned throughout their academic career. This course allows students to pursue a project that explores a substantive personal, academic, or career-oriented area of interest in a meaningful, directed context. Projects will be conceived and carried out on an individualized basis with the supervision and direction of the teacher. With the direction of the teacher, students may design a project in the form of an internship, job shadowing, community service, or independent research, for example. Students will be required to present their projects to a review panel for assessment at the end of the year.
(This course takes the place of Senior Project; fourth term Senior Project will no longer be offered.)
