A Welcoming Community

A gap year changes you. It deepens your understanding of yourself and your place in the world. It sharpens your sense of what you want to do and who you want to be. And we know that your transition from a gap year experience must align with your college experience.

最初引导你选择间隔年的价值观——对知识的好奇心、成长的渴望、对生活体验的渴望、在进入另一个学术环境之前反思和停顿的机会——需要在你选择的大学中得到反映。

We believe we are that college.
