Gap Year Programme
Life after SPM or IGCSE can be overwhelming sometimes. So many choices, so many decisions. It can be exhausting to find the best university and course that suit you well. Sometimes the best way to do so is to take some time out from thinking about all the choices and options, and just hit the pause button – a gap year after, before or in between high school or college is one of the best ways to do this.
​
​
WHAT IS A GAP YEAR PROGRAMME?
​
A gap year is a semester or year of experiential learning, typically taken after high school and prior to career or postsecondary education, in order to deepen one's practical, professional and personal awareness. This programme allows you to pause and regroup before diving into university life, all while building the self-reliance, confidence and maturity to succeed in your academic pursuits.
