One of the main objectives of the Gap Year program is to empower students as they navigate critical decisions about their academic, career, and personal paths. This course emphasizes self-awareness and personal growth, encouraging students to build skills in decision-making, goal-setting, and self-motivation. Through practical coaching techniques, reflective exercises, and guided self-assessment, students will explore their strengths, values, and interests, laying the foundation for a fulfilling future in all areas of life.
In this highly interactive course, students will work individually and in groups to practice setting achievable goals, overcoming obstacles, and developing resilience. They will learn strategies to foster autonomy, increase confidence, and cultivate a mindset that supports long-term personal and professional growth. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the tools to make informed, confident decisions and will feel empowered to take charge of their future with clarity and purpose.
