SENIOR PROJECT CLASS

SENIOR PROJECT - THE IDEA

Hands on for the Senior Class at Akhawayn School of Ifrane

Senior project is a required 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 must align with the Vision, Mission and Ethos of Akhawayn School of Ifrane.

Each student must write a min. 20-page paper summarizing the experience of senior project.  This paper includes approximately 10 pages of research on the relevant topics in MLA style and approximately 5 pages of the student’s personal experience through the year, including two pages of 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.

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

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

​

Students must present their outcomes to the community.​
