LEAPYEAR
LEAPYEAR is an alternative first (or second) year of college that combines the best
of a gap year with contemplative education. Bringing together international experiential
learning with a program of self-inquiry, LEAPYEAR creates a "bridge year" to support
students’ conscious transition from high school to college and development from adolescence into adulthood.
LEAPYEAR includes:
- First semester: Extended group travel in India/Nepal or Latin America
- Second semester: A three-month, individual, international internship
- Four intensive domestic contemplative practice retreats focusing on successfully navigating independent living and self-actualization that bracket each semester of travel
- Formal and informal Rites of Passage
- A high level of mentoring to support reflection and integration
