The Capstone is an opportunity for students to apply their talents toward a project that is relevant outside of school and the classroom. It is done in 12th grade and is a requirement for graduation.

The goal is to encourage students to think analytically, logically and creatively and to integrate experience and knowledge to solve problems.

The Capstone project offers students an opportunity to apply their learning in a “real world” way.
