Summer Option & Gap Year

Sum­mer is an impor­tant time for enrich­ment and/or reme­dial learn­ing, and build­ing self-confidence. Stu­dents can explore new fields of inter­est or build on sub­ject mat­ter they already enjoy. They can expe­ri­ence what it is like to camp out­side, live in a ranch set­ting or live in a dor­mi­tory. Some­times stu­dents need to repeat some aca­d­e­mic courses or choose to move ahead in their grade; or some­times they want to improve their social skills and want to enjoy a sum­mer of out­door adven­ture. Sum­mer­time is a won­der­ful oppor­tu­nity to do things not avail­able dur­ing the school year.


If a high school stu­dent or col­lege age stu­dent wants to try some­thing dif­fer­ent, whether it’s to vol­un­teer in a third world coun­try, chal­lenge them­selves phys­i­cally or have a sum­mer expe­ri­ence on a col­lege cam­pus, oppor­tu­ni­ties are wait­ing for them.


Many times high school seniors real­izes they want to take time off between high school and col­lege. The Gap Year awaits. There are adven­tures to try, courses to take or time to try what it feels like to live away from home inde­pen­dently for the first time before liv­ing on a col­lege cam­pus.


Imy F. Wax & Asso­ciates can pro­vide an abun­dance of expe­ri­ences that may appeal to the stu­dent who’s search­ing for the sum­mer or the gap-year expe­ri­ence.
