PRE UNIVERSITY / PG-GAP YEAR PROGRAM
Come join the growing number of international students and travel to the United States for a Pre-University/GAP year. Boarding schools throughout the U.S. welcomes international students who have graduated from their High Schools and are seeking a 1 year experience. The benefits are numerous. For students who are considering attending a University or College in the U.S., this GAP year will be filled with college preparatory classes including English writing, reading and language building skills. Students will have the opportunity of one-on-one college advisement, college application assistance and access to college admittance exams (TOEFL, SAT or ACT). For those students who are only seeking a 1 year experience in the U.S. to improve their English skills, students will enjoy the cultural immersion of living in dormitories on the grounds of an American boarding school and taking advantage of all the school has to offer including small class sizes, a diverse variety of academic classes, athletic team opportunities and weekend activities both on and off campus.
