Gap Year - Giving Your Student Time to Succeed.
 
If your child is in need of an extra year of academic, emotional, physical, or social growth before moving on to the next school grade, then our Gap Year may be right for you. Our Gap Year is a one year transition from traditional school, to homeschool, and then back to traditional school (unless you decide that homeschooling is perfect for you!).

The Gap Year allows your student to repeat the current grade level and fill any "gaps" in learning and maturity. While most students take a Gap year just before high school, the Gap year is available to students of any age who need an extra year of preparation before moving on to the next grade.

As a homeschool parent, you are in charge of deciding the best grade placement for your child, and our expert staff will help you navigate this decision wisely.  If you feel a retention with our Gap Year may be right for your child, please contact us to schedule a consultation or visit our A1A academy to learn more about this program. The Gap Year is available to students of any age who have gaps in their learning and/or maturity.

 In consultation with the family, we will perform a comprehensive, holistic evaluation to determine the most appropriate grade placement for each student.

Designed to give students the very best preparation for high school and beyond, our Gap Year allows your student to enroll with us for a year of independent homeschooling, and then transfer into the school of your choice the following year.  While most students reclass the year following 8th grade, students of all grade levels may be considered for a Gap year.

The Gap Year is provided through our A1A program.
We originally created the A1A program to serve elite athletes with independent study programs that adjust to their demanding schedules.  Our Gap Year naturally evolved as we discovered some of these fantastic athletes were either placed in kindergarten too young to keep up with their peers, had not had the same growth spurt that their cohort had experienced, or otherwise had challenges that left them unready for high school. Our Gap Year gives these and all students the opportunity to catch up with their peers, gain maturity,  and develop the skills for academic, athletic, and personal success.


The Gap Year is open to all students who need a little extra time to develop before hitting the next grade level, athletes and nonathletes alike.
