Capstone

Every 12th grade student takes the Capstone Course; A course designed to build college level reading, writing and discussion for graduating students.  The first semester, students read and discuss ideas and questions around controversial issues in the world today.  The second semester, students research and write in-depth about topics of their interest and present on these topics.
