AP Capstone Program for Rising Juniors

WHAT IS AP SEMINAR? AP Seminar is a foundational course that engages students in cross-curricular conversations that explore the complexities of academic and real-world topics and issues by analyzing divergent perspectives. Exploring different points of view and making connections across disciplines are fundamental components of the AP Seminar experience. Students consider each topic through a variety of lenses and from multiple perspectives, many of which are divergent or competing. Analyzing topics through multiple lenses aids in interdisciplinary understanding and helps students gain a rich appreciation for the complexity of important issues.

The Pinnacle of Distinction AP Capstone Diploma This challenging program helps students deepen their passion for learning, gives them greater confidence in your academic skills, and a broader perspective on their world. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams will receive the AP Capstone Diploma. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research will receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate
