Gap Year
"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."
Why a Gap Year?
Wanderjahr. Year Out. Vision Quest. Student Sabbatical. Walkabout. Gap Year. Career Break. Whatever you wish to call it, the tradition of youth taking time out for self-discovery and reflection is centuries old. More recently, the British model for a deferred year of travel or work before higher education has begun to gain popularity here in America.
This page is designed to inform you a little bit more about the logistics of gap years. For your convenience, there are separate sections for students and parents, which address the most common questions and concerns of each group.
