PROGRAMS at A GLANCE
CAPSTONE PROJECT
Capstone: Empowering Growth, Fostering Success
A capstone project or assessment marks the culmination of an academic program, typically undertaken during the final year or semester. However, this can be done alongside schooling, with smaller subjects in junior or middle school years. This significant endeavor serves as a showcase of a student's accumulated knowledge and skills acquired throughout their coursework from current knowledge, or an excellent addition to our VSBA course. The term "capstone" metaphorically signifies the final stone placed atop an architectural structure, symbolizing the completion and crowning achievement of the entire educational journey.
