Grade 8 Capstone Project

The Capstone Project invites every Grade 8 student to become an expert in a topic that excites them.
The program emphasizes student agency and voice—giving students the chance to explore, reflect, and share their learning in a culminating community celebration. As they engage in this process, students build essential skills in inquiry, independence, and communication—empowering them to see themselves as scholars and changemakers.
