The Senior Capstone at Fountain Valley School provides students with opportunities to dive into a topic of their own choosing and design an in-depth research project based on their unique interests and discoveries. Whether conducting research on campus, taking part in an internship, or shadowing a mentor during off-campus experiences, students work side-by-side with real-world experts to gain professional know-how and narrow their career pursuits.
Students spend the first semester of their senior year engaging in idea generation and determining the focus of their Capstone projects for semester two*. As a culmination of the course, each student presents what they’ve learned and attends presentations from their peers.
*Students who wish to pursue a Global Scholar / STEM Diploma must begin the process in their junior year and may use this work as part of their culminating Capstone experience.
