Meaningful GapSemesters

We design gap semester, summer and year-long programs for students between the ages of 17 and 22.

Each program focuses on experiential education, intercultural exchange and community engagement.

Students pursue meaningful journeys across the South Pacific, South America, Central America, India & Nepal, Italy & Greece, Southeast Asia, and Hawai'i.
