Capstone Student Legislature is a one of a kind, week-long course held in Boise, Idaho, at the Idaho State Capitol Building during the last full week in January.
Due to the one-on-one interaction our students have with government officials, program size is limited.
The Capstone Student Legislature course is for privately funded, home educated students aged 13 to 18 (that have not graduated from their homeschool). Students must not be enrolled in a state education funding program.
Accepted students will be introduced to all aspects of Idaho government. Preparation for the week begins with homework sent out in October. The assignments will have individual deadlines students must meet to remain enrolled.
Students will each write a bill (which will be debated in committees and mock legislative floor sessions), research answers to questions concerning our State Officials, and write letters to the legislators in his or her own district. There is an opportunity to run for a "Capstone Government" office, participate on a JFAC committee, tour the Idaho State Capitol building, and much more. It is a fun, interactive, and memorable week!
Each day includes interaction and personal contact with our legislators, Governor, Supreme Court Justices, Attorney General and many other exciting speakers.
Capstone Alumni return in subsequent years to work with attorneys learning how to craft Supreme Court arguments on important topics. These topics are presented in a 5 year rotation.
The Capstone Student Legislature is presented from an evangelical Christian perspective.
The Full cost for the Capstone program is $125 per student.
(this price includes the $25 non-refundable deposit)
