The AP Capstone Program's first course, AP Seminar, will be available to incoming juniors who are also registering for AP English Language and Composition. The course is also available for incoming sophomores who are in good academic standing and enrolling in AP US Government and Politics. AP Seminar, the first of two required classes within the AP Capstone, will engage students in cross-curricular conversations that explore academic and real-world issues.

   * Analyze and evaluate information with accuracy and precision
   * Craft and communicate evidence-based arguments
   * Examine one or more themes, focusing on deep interdisciplinary exploration of topics
   * Complete a team project and presentation
   * Complete an individual research-based essay and presentation
   * Prepare for and take an end-of-course exam
