What is a GAP Year?
A gap year is an intentional period of time spent away from formal education. It can occur after high school or between years of study at post secondary. This could mean you are out seeking Travel, or Learning a Second Language, another great idea is to do Service somewhere in the world. Although it may not technically be a GAP year some students are taking a year to work and save money before attending college or university, we could call this a Savvy Saver GAP Year.
Is a GAP Year a Good Idea?There are good and bad experiences with GAP Year, in the same way that there are good and bad experiences at Post-Secondary school, with Work or with the Armed Forces.
