Aligned with the Portrait of the Graduate
In the Skills21 Capstone Program, students demonstrate key college and career ready skills through an individual passion project. Skills21 works with school districts to design a Capstone program that aligns with the school’s portrait of a graduate and can be used to fulfill state level mastery based graduation requirements. The Capstone Program offers students empowered participation to explore their own identity, to make meaningful connections, and to enjoy a true sense of belonging.

A student’s profile page can include documents, slides, images, photos, GIFs, and videos - everything they need to create a compelling collection of evidence of their project.
