The EFA Capstone Project provides students an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to apply their knowledge and skills in order to create solutions to a community issues. These student-centered and student-driven projects requires students to use knowledge gained in multiple classes throughout the school year.
As outlined in the EFA CAPSTONE GUIDE, The capstone project is a student-centered and student-driven interdisciplinary research project. This year, students will use their knowledge and skills to research and propose solutions for community issues. In order to accomplish this, they are expected to conduct, synthesize, and analyze research to create an innovative final product. As educators who believe in Excellence for All, the Capstone inquiry-based experience is a must for all students in all schools.
