Fun & Affordable Study Abroad in Phuket! Education Abroad Asia’s Gap Year Program is a great reason to travel and have adventures while experiencing the kind of dynamic international education that is the best possible preparation for the rest of your life What is a Gap Year? The idea for a deferred year of college emerged simultaneously in many different cultures and countries, and basically suggests that after the stress of successfully completing high school, students can benefit greatly from taking time out to deliberately think about the directions of their lives. The concept is founded in students’ needs and desires to understand the world and themselves, gain maturity, and become truly independent adults prior to engaging in mainstream university life. Typical gap year activities may include travelling overseas self-reliantly at a young age to study abroad for a semester or year, exploring career experiences, developing “people skills” such as languages or teaching, or volunteering for any of a wide range of charitable organizations.
