[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never heard of people taking a gap year during high school. There are semester programs for high school juniors, like the high Mountain Institute and the Island School — some in the northeast, too (is Chewonki one?)— but it’s still school and they are expensive. Attended more by private school kids who are already on a semester system but I know a couple of public school kids who were able to make it work. They probably have some amount of scholarships. My kid took a gap year after high school (is in it now), and it’s been a really good reset, has helped moved her from a mindset where everything felt like a “have to” into one where doing valuable things felt more like her choice. She’s also just a lot more mature than she was a year ago. [/quote] What kinds of things is she doing? Just wondering because my kid is considering the same.[/quote]
