Did you know Casteel High is proud to bring back the AP Capstone Diploma?
What is the AP Capstone Diploma?
AP Capstone is a diploma program from College Board based on two different yearlong courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. (AP Seminar will provide students with an Honors English 10 credit!)
Why It's Different
Rather than teaching subject-specific content, these courses develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting. Students who complete the two-year program can earn one of two different AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges across the United States and around the world.
Awards
Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams of their choosing receive the AP Capstone Diploma™. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research but not on four additional AP Exams receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate™.
Below you will find the AP Capstone Brochure for more details.
