As students begin the final chapter of their academic career at Norfolk Collegiate School, they embark on a journey of personal and intellectual growth through the Senior Project. Each student is required to develop a proposal, select a mentor, work independently and present the final project to a panel of teachers and peers prior to graduation.
While some students work toward the goal of personal growth, others take on ambitious societal and charitable pursuits. From completing an internship, to staging concerts, to organizing arts shows or writing academic papers, what is most inspiring about these projects is that each take students beyond the classroom to a creative space of their own imagining.
Norfolk Collegiate School has found that the experience is not only personally enriching but also a source of pride for the students. More importantly, this type of independent work on a long-range, far-reaching project prepares students for the type of work they will encounter at the college level.
