A cornerstone of our upper school curriculum and the culmination of a senior’s Academy experience as a student and a citizen of our community, the senior project gives students an opportunity to make sustained and rigorous inquiries into topics they find interesting over the course of their final high school year. 大四专题承担了大四一节学术课的重量和重要性，并挑战学生：

• 对选择的主题有更深的理解
• 走出自己的舒适区，去接触新的话题、活动和人
• 独立开发和执行一个项目
• 以某种方式回馈他们的世界十大博彩app下载

Each Academy senior work closely with a faculty advisor and outside mentor on their senior project, keeps a learning journal to document progress and growth, presents their project proposal and final project to The Academy community throughout the year, and generates a “product” of some kind that encapsulates their project.
