AP Capstone - New

What Is AP Capstone?

AP Capstone was developed in response to feedback from higher education. The two AP Capstone courses,

with their associated performance tasks, assessments, and application of research methodology, require

students to:

•Analyze topics through multiple lenses to construct meaning or gain understanding.

•Plan and conduct a study or investigation.

•Propose solutions to real-world problems.

•Plan and produce communication in various forms.

•Collaborate to solve a problem.

•Integrate, synthesize, and make cross-curricular connections.
