Capstone

There is a clear link between College and Career Readiness and the culminating graduation project, known as Capstone. As a district we hope students can align the good work they might be doing through extracurricular work, community service, and their internships in to a culminating graduation project.

The senior project has been a part of the Old Saybrook High School culture for years. This project has been a point of pride for students and faculty. These projects have often set apart Old Saybrook students from their peers at other secondary institutions. As of July 2017, the CT State Department of Education adopted the language about a Capstone graduation requirement. Furthermore, the OSPS Strategic Plan, adopted in 2016, focuses on ensuring that instruction is personalized as much as possible. The Capstone Project has many of the same attributes as the senior project, but Capstone enables students to broaden their application of skills and interests.
