The Senior Project has become an essential opportunity—even a cherished tradition—of Vail Mountain School: it constitutes an intense culmination of a student's college preparatory education. Students who successfully complete a project (in lieu of a normal third term curriculum) will accomplish two lofty objectives: first, they will delve with scholarly vigor into an arena of great personal interest; second, they will learn to extend their academic habits and skills to attain a new level of independent accomplishment.
