What is a Gap Year?
A gap year is an enriching, out-of-school learning experience that typically takes place in between a student’s high school and college career. They tend to last for either for a semester or entire calendar year. A gap year can take many different forms, depending on one’s interests and passion.
Study abroad language programs are one of the most popular types of gap year programs for teens. However, domestic options are quickly gaining popularity. This includes local volunteer opportunities or apprenticeship programs that grant valuable work experience. Rigorous academic options hosted by colleges or other groups are also available.
