International School

Senior Project

 

Since our first senior class, the International School has required the completion of an independent learning project in order to graduate.  The Senior Project was originally conceived to serve both as a self-directed culmination of the 12 years of the students’ education and as a launching pad to integrate students into the real life of the community. It consists of a year-long project designed by the students themselves, and has three basic components: information gathering and synthesis; project planning and implementation; and student presentation to a community-based panel. Each project proposal is evaluated by an advisory board to ensure it meets certain criteria, such as a learning stretch, community involvement, feasibility, and closure.
