Our Beginnings
It all started…
With the generous support of an E. E. Ford Foundation Educational Leadership Grant, the National Capstone Consortium was established in 2012 to provide support for capstone education. The group’s inaugural Summer Summit was held in June 2013 at the Thacher School in Ojai, California. Through lively discussions, presentations, and workshops, participants produced materials in hopes of encouraging, supporting, and nurturing capstone programs at all types of schools throughout the country. In addition to hosting the annual Summits, the Consortium remains an active community, supporting capstone education and teachers throughout the school year.
