AP Capstone™
Immaculata-La Salle High School provides our students the opportunity to earn a College Board AP Capstone™ Diploma. The AP Capstone™ is a diploma program based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. These courses are designed to complement other AP courses that the AP Capstone student may take. Instead of teaching specific subject knowledge, AP Seminar and AP Research use an interdisciplinary approach to develop the critical thinking, research, collaboration, time management, and presentation skills students need for college-level work.
Participating in AP Capstone can help students:
Develop key academic skills they’ll use in college and beyond.
Become self-confident, independent thinkers and problem solvers.
Earn college credit: Many colleges offer credit for qualifying scores.
Why choose AP Capstone™?
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™.
