Twin Rivers’ Rio Linda High School (RLHS) is one of more than 100 schools worldwide to implement AP Capstone─an innovative program that allows students to engage in the rigorous development of skills critical for success in college and career.
The program includes a two-course sequence: AP Seminar and AP Research. AP Seminar, the first of the two AP Capstone courses, will begin fall 2014.
“This innovative program not only prepares a broader, more diverse student population for college and career success, but also provides our teachers with flexibility in the curriculum to expand access to rigorous course work,” says Edward Delgado, principal of RLHS.
AP Capstone will help students distinguish themselves during the college application process by demonstrating their commitment to challenging coursework and by allowing them to showcase their in-depth understanding, interest and passion for specific issues.
Students who earn scores of 3 or higher on the AP Seminar and AP Research Exams and scores of 3 or higher on four AP Exams of their choosing will receive the AP Capstone Diploma.
RLHS offers a comprehensive AP program that includes 15 courses in English Language Arts, Math, Science, History, Social Science, World Language as well as Visual and Performing Arts content areas.
