The Culminating Project helps students to demonstrate their learning and provides an opportunity to explore an area of interest.
Students attending TSOTA are asked to apply knowledge learned in school, both academically and in mentor project groups, toward a final culminating project. The project is to be presented to the public at the end of senior year, although sophomores and juniors are taking preliminary steps in preparation for the future. Projects must be approved by the Senior Advising Committee.
TSOTA’s Culminating Project Requirements:
- Project must be motivated by a commitment to the community
- Project must be original and unique, emphasis on creativity
- Project must reflect the four school-wide goals: thinking, balance, community, and empathy
- Project must be a personal stretch: students will work toward a project that challenges themselves and their audience
- Project must culminate with a graded portfolio and public presentation
