SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH
• A current elective program in Social Studies
• Consists of four courses--one full year introductory course, followed by 2 alternate-
day full year courses, and culminates with a half-year Regeneron/Science Talent
Search Prep course
• After extensive evaluation and research, we have applied to the College Board to
offer the AP Capstone program as a more rigorous and structured research program
• Our existing social science research program would be phased out with the exception
of the introductory elective course, open to 9th and 10th grade students
• AP Capstone will not be open to Science Research students

TIME COMMITMENT FOR AP CAPSTONE
• According to schools that have participated in the AP Capstone program the time
commitment is comparable to other AP courses.
• Students must research, read deeply, write and rewrite on a very rigorous level
similar to expectations in college.
• Though there are fewer smaller tasks, the level at which students are asked to think
and communicate is at a much deeper level.
• Google classroom will be used to support ongoing student access and collaboration.
(Note: there are required group projects)

AP CAPSTONE EXAM FEE
• Current College Board exam fee is higher ($142) than other AP exams ($94)
because students and teacher have access to the AP Capstone Digital Portfolio.
• Resources available on the digital portfolio include EBSCO research database and
Turnitin Originality Checker.
• For this reason, once a student has posted a final draft of the through-course papers
on the Digital Portfolio, the entire fee must be paid as required by the College
Board.
