RHS AP Capstone
Mission
AP Capstone™ is a diploma program based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. These courses are designed to complement other AP courses that the AP Capstone student may take. Instead of teaching specific subject knowledge, AP Seminar and AP Research use an interdisciplinary approach to develop the critical thinking, research, collaboration, time management, and presentation skills students need for college-level work. The College Board developed the AP Capstone Diploma program at the request of higher education professionals, who saw a need for a systematic way for high school students to begin mastering these skills before college.
Goals
The AP Capstone™ program offers students the opportunity to:
engage with rigorous college-level curricula focused on the skills necessary for successful college completion;
synthesize information and apply skills in new situations and cross-curricular contexts;
collect and analyze information with accuracy and precision;
craft, communicate, and defend evidence-based arguments; and
practice disciplined and scholarly research skills while exploring topics that appeal to their interests and curiosity
