[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Jeez. Thanks to the two people who actually gave ideas and not unwanted advice! Not that it's really anyone's business, but my daughter is recovering from a major illness which caused her to lose almost a year of school. She's young for her grade and just wants a year to explore life before committing to college. Now can I have suggestions in response to my question? Or are folks just going to post any and everything but an answer to my original question: Do you know of good gap year programs???

[b]What would you daughter like to do[/b]?  My dd likes theatre and she plans on a gap year trying to get acting jobs, teaching at a local theatre company and taking classes at Moco.   I also hope we can travel together as a family to places we didn't go when she was young.

I would start with your daughter's ideas and then go from there.  Does she want to go away and experience something different..ie work on a farm?

Unlike others I think gap years can be great...[/quote]

Why aren't you starting with this in mind?  I think gap years are a great option for children that aren't ready for college or just want t break.  But they should apply to college with their classmates as a senior and defer enrollment for a year.  If people think that enrolling in some commercial gap year program is going to increase their odds of admission a year out of school they are mistaken.....that's a recipe for disaster. [/quote]
