The purpose of Senior Project is for students to conceive, design, and carry out an independent project that is connected to the school mission, specifically to create a meaningful project characteristic of lifelong learners and stewards, productively serving a world in need of their gifts. Senior Project gives students the opportunity to challenge and stretch themselves as individuals and intellectuals. Students will use all the learning competencies of critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, communication, and resilience as they conduct and manage their senior project inside and outside of class. Over the course of the semester, with the guidance of a senior project teacher, students will conduct research, work with a mentor, design a process and product, create an online portfolio documenting their progress, and ultimately present their findings and their product to the Priory community.
