What a "Senior Exhibit" is...

"The Senior Exhibit is a graduation requirement at Fredericksburg Academy that requires a level of commitment beyond most secondary courses. It gives the students the freedom to be immersed in a topic they are interested in while learning important life skills such as time management and working cooperatively with others.

It is a process that begins in January of the eleventh grade year. Students select a topic of their choice and undertake a learning activity related to that topic such as taking a formal class, completing an internship, or travel. They work with a faculty mentor, and the scope of the topic evolves as the student applies that learning to another element related to the topic, finally giving a formal presentation to a panel where the student has the opportunity to showcase the struggles and successes of the Exhibit process."
