Providence High School – AP Capstone

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

AP Capstone is an innovative diploma program that provides students with an opportunity to engage in challenging scholarly practice of the core academic skills necessary for successful college completion. The program is built on the foundation of two courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. It is designed to complement and enhance the in-depth, discipline-specific study provided through AP courses. 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 be awarded the AP Capstone Diploma. The AP Capstone Diploma signifies a student’s outstanding scholastic achievement and attainment of college-level academic and research skills. Accordingly, the AP Capstone diploma is primarily valuable for admissions consideration. While this is a national program, there are only a few districts in North Carolina that offer the AP Capstone Program. Prerequisite: Application/Open to all freshmen in Spring semester
