SENIOR THESIS

The senior thesis is a capstone project for Providence Classical School students, designed to demonstrate their critical thinking, research, and presentation skills. This culminating project, due in their final year, requires students to explore a complex topic, develop a well-reasoned argument, and present their findings to faculty and peers.

The journey toward the senior thesis begins in the sophomore year, with students writing and presenting progressively more in-depth theses each year. This gradual progression amps up the length and complexity of both the paper and the presentation, preparing students for the rigorous demands of the senior thesis and equipping them with invaluable skills for their future endeavors.
