͵ÅÄ͵¿ú Postgraduate Gap Year students receive the unique opportunity to work closely with our Arts faculty and College Counselors, have connections with top conservatories and Art schools around the world. Postgraduate Gap Year students receive a customized curriculum to prepare for college auditions, portfolios, and professional life as an artist, facilitating their individual goals beyond high school.
Postgraduate students have the same rules and expectations as 12th grade students. Postgraduate students may not live independently in town as a day student even if they are 18 or older.
Our Postgraduate Gap Year program is a customized curriculum based on the student’s goals. Because of college application deadlines, students who are English Language Learners and wish to attend conservatories/colleges/universities in the US or other English-speaking countries, we highly recommend having earned a TOEFL score of 90, IELTS score of 6.5, or Duolingo score of 115 prior to the start of their postgraduate year. However, we know college at an English-speaking institution is not necessarily the goal for all students who may wish to have a postgraduate year with us. For those students, we can offer additional ELL support through our advanced English for Academic Communication courses, as well as customized Arts training.
