SENIOR PROJECT - THE IDEA

Senior project is a required semi-weekly class with one end-of-year grade of pass/fail.  This structure is adopted intentionally to refocus students from the external motivation of a short-term grade-driven class to a long-term goal-oriented approach that encourages students to choose projects they find intrinsically motivating.  This encourages participants to find satisfaction in a job well done rather than looking to grades as a reward or punishment.

​

Each project must include research elements and  real-world outcomes.

​

The Senior Project should align with the Vision, Mission and Ethos of Akhawayn School of Ifrane.

​

Each student must write a 10-page paper about a topic, that occurred during the process and summarize the personal experience of senior project. This paper includes approximately 8 pages of research on the relevant topics in MLA style and approximately 2 pages of the student’s personal experience through the year, including  self-reflection on how the project went, what obstacles surfaced, how they responded to adversity, and what they would do differently if the situation arose again.  

​

Students must present their outcomes to the community.

Senior project includes Community Service and volunteer opportunities for the House Competition of Akhawayn School of Ifrane.
