Diploma Plus

AP Capstone™ is an innovative diploma program from College Board that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. AP Capstone is built on the foundation of two AP® courses—AP Seminar and AP Research—and is designed to complement and enhance the in-depth, discipline-specific study experienced in other AP courses. 

In AP Seminar, students investigate real-world issues from multiple perspectives, gathering and analyzing information from various sources in order to develop credible and valid evidence-based arguments. AP Seminar is a prerequisite for AP Research. In AP Research, students cultivate the skills and discipline necessary to conduct independent research and inquiry in order to produce and defend their scholarly work.

Students participating in the Lindbergh Early College Program complete their junior and senior years of high school full-time at St. Louis Community College. Students earn credits toward their high school diploma and Associate of Arts degree simultaneously. At the end of the student’s senior year in high school, the student can hold a diploma and an associate’s degree and be ready for transfer to a four-year college or university. Participation in the Early College Program is dependent on the number of applicants and available district funding.

Enrollment in Lindbergh’s internship/apprenticeship course allows juniors and seniors to pursue work-based learning and learn professional skills in a career path of their choosing. Students will spend part of their time on campus learning work-based professional skills and part of their time off-campus in a career exploration, internship/apprenticeship, or service learning experience. Students must apply for the program within one of the six career paths: Arts and Communication; Business, Management, and Technology; Health Services; Human Services; Industrial and Engineering Technology; or Natural Resources and Agriculture. The following factors will be considered for admission to the program: credits toward graduation, individual career and academic plan, application essay, and teacher recommendations. Students earn academic practical art elective credit for this program. Participation in this program may meet partial requirements for the Missouri Career and Technical Education Certificate.

Dual enrollment is a type of program that allows seniors to attend college part-time and earn college credit while still taking some courses at LHS. Students are expected to be enrolled in at least two classes at LHS. To be eligible for Dual Enrollment, a student must have earned at least 19 credits to participate in the first semester, 21.5 credits in the second semester while taking five classes at LHS. Students must have a minimum 2.0 GPA. The student is responsible for applying to the college and completing all the steps in the admission process. In addition, students are responsible for the reduced cost of the course and providing their own transportation. Interested students are advised to meet with their school counselor for additional information. Students do not receive LHS credit for course work.

Dual credit classes are college credit-bearing classes taught by high school teachers. These classes align with classes taught on STLCC campuses. This ensures you're getting a college-level experience that conveniently fits in your schedule. Select classes offered for dual credit. Min 3.0 GPA for 10th graders & Min 2.5 for 11th & 12th Graders.
