What is the AP Capstone?

AP Capstone™ is a diploma program from the College Board. It’s based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research.

Rather than teaching subject-specific content, these courses develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting.

Students who complete the two-year program can earn one of two different AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges across the United States and around the world.

Applying

Although there is no formal application, students must have completed QSI Writing I & II, QSI Literature I & II, and all units from Secondary I and II. Students must also adhere to the KIS attendance policy (at least 90% attendance and less than 3 tardies per quintile)

Although not required, the following characteristics, generally tend to thrive in the AP Program:

Motivated and hardworking students.
Students who like the support and collaboration of peer groups.
Students who are active in the community via athletics, community service, and extracurricular activities.
