  • 为大学做准备. Archmere's curriculum is structured similarly to a college curriculum but with more support from faculty. 结果是, students will develop skills like time management, 批判性思维, and other executive functioning skills that can set them up for success in college and beyond. 
  • 追求激情. Whether students are interested in fine arts, world language & 文化, focusing on research projects to achieve their capstone, or participating in an internship to better prepare themselves for college, a gap year would provide that opportunity.
Each gap year is unique to every student. 然而, if you're considering a postgraduate year, there will be even more benefits specific to your interests and lifestyle. The postgraduate year is most rewarding when you focus on your own personal growth and goals.
