Senior Seminar
Course Description:
This course is designed to tie together the Visitation experience for seniors. It culminates the last four years of religious study and lived faith experience, and projects students into their future. The class is a clear reflection of the school’s motto: “Non Scholae, sed Vitae – Not for School but for Life.” Senior Seminar includes readings, videos, guest speakers, personal reflection and discussion, and concludes with the “Philosophy of Life” written assignment—a graduation requirement.

Senior Seminar Syllabus
A Note on Participation and Assignments:
Since this class is run with a college seminar style, it is very important that students are present in class and participating regularly. There will be guest speakers, articles, films, workshops, and presentations that students will be required to write about and discuss. Participation, therefore is a key grade in this course. Written assignments are all in the form of papers. There is not final exam for this course. If students, however, fail to pass either quarter 3 or quarter 4, they will be required to take a final exam.
