During the course of the eighth-grade year each Senior at Arbor, to fulfill the requirements for graduation, completes an independent project under the guidance of a mentor who is not part of his/her immediate family. This project is presented orally, visually, and in writing to the greater Arbor Community on graduation night and represents the student’s best efforts. Past Senior Projects have included the study of architecture, dance, history, physics, photography, music, boat building, aviation, video, public policy, robotics, animals, medical imaging, glass art, creative writing, furniture construction, baking, and environmental issues.

Watch "Threads We Follow", a film about the Arbor School Senior Project experience produced by Curtis Ellis, Arbor '94 and 2009 Peabody Award Winner.
