What is a Gap Year?- A year spent taking time off between life stages. An increasingly
popular option, it provides time for traveling, volunteering, learning a new language, or experiencing any number of other activities for personal growth.
Why take a Gap Year?- Most common reason is the opportunity for students to explore
their interests and develop a purpose for their future. Students can take a break from intense coursework and focus on enriching life experiences.
- Were not accepted into choice college.- Allowed to defer acceptance for one year.- Work, travel, experience...GROW!!!
