A Postgraduate Year

Grow, Learn, Flourish

When senior year is approaching and attending college on ‘schedule’ does not seem like the optimum next step, a postgraduate year is often the perfect alternative for the many benefits it offers. 

 

As a PG student you can:

  • Extend the college planning process.

  • Pursue a passion: academic, artistic. 

  • Pursue a sport: increase physical training and stat sheet; get noticed by top college recruiters. 

  • Build your transcript; take advanced classes.

  • Enhance your GPA.

  • Improve SAT or ACT scores. 

  • Prepare for college. A PG year at a boarding school provides the structure of a college, but with greater support from teachers and mentors. 

  • Practice hard skills such as time management, school/life balance, and soft skills like social dexterity, maturity and independence, critical for success in college and beyond.
