The AP Capstone DiplomaTM is an innovative diploma program that helps students stand out in the college admission process by developing the critical skills needed to succeed in college and in life. This challenging program helps students deepen their passion for learning, provides greater confidence in their academic skills and engenders a broader perspective on the world.
