What are Capstone Experiences?
Capstone projects for middle school provide students with an interdisciplinary learning experience that ties together everything they’ve learned in Upper School (Grades 6-8). These real-world learning opportunities challenge students to apply their knowledge and skills in a meaningful way, whether through a research paper, product development, presentation, or performance. Each project is designed to build essential skills like critical thinking, public speaking, research, teamwork, media literacy, goal setting, and self-sufficiency.
