The Landing School of Boatbuilding & Design offers a GAP Year Experience. At their core, gap years serve to enrich your personal, professional, and/or educational journey in life. They challenge the myth that your life trajectory must be linear - that the “high school > college > career” path is key to everyone’s success. The concept of a gap year is built on the belief that a life rich in learning, growth, and purpose will follow many twists and turns—often unexpected—that influence shifts in focus and direction.

While gap years are most commonly taken as something that is taken between high school and college, these experiences can be sought out at any time in life. We see students who come to pursue a gap year mid-college, between college graduation and grad school or career, mid-career, and even post-retirement!

The key to defining an experience as “gap time” is to intentionally seek growth and reflection.
