AP CAPSTONE AT BST
AP Capstone is a College Board program that focuses on developing students’ research, collaboration, and presentation skills. It includes two courses: AP Seminar (typically taken in 10th or 11th grade) and AP Research (usually taken the following year). Students who complete both courses and score a 3 or higher on each, plus four other AP exams, earn the AP Capstone Diploma. It’s great preparation for college-level work and helps students stand out in college applications.
