Discover Who You Are and What God Is Calling You to Do

ASCENT GAP YEAR

As a high school graduate, are you feeling confused, afraid, or pressured when it comes to what's next?

The choice between college and the workplace is scary. With the rising costs of college tuition, going in without a plan can be frustrating and expensive. That's why a gap year is important. Taking a gap year allows students the opportunity to gain a better understanding of themselves, have clear direction of God’s purpose for their life, and an action plan to fulfill that purpose. The Ascent Gap Year covers all of these areas while also allowing students to earn college credit.
