Ingenuity Year

Gap year programming by Forman School

Get out of the classroom

Learning isn’t confined to a room with four walls. Some of our biggest growth occurs outside of the classroom, engaging with the world. At Ingenuity Year, students in our gap year program engage with real challenges, and learn with real communities. It’s not a case study in your textbook, it’s real life.

Connect with your joy

Do you know what drives you and fills you up? What keeps you captivated and makes you jump out of bed in the morning? Spark your joy and rediscover your passions with Ingenuity Year. Tune into your own voice and explore who you are and how you connect with the world.

Learn Differently

Everyone has a different style of learning. We know this intimately - we’ve been teaching this for over 90 years! Ingenuity Year is built for students who want to explore their own learning style and to understand who they are as learners.

Our mission: Ingenuity Year is a gap year program for non-conventional thinkers aged 17-21 to explore global and local contexts through an individual lens while working on a set of problem-solving skills that will lay a firm foundation for success in college.

A gap year helps students with job-related skills, improves employability, and has a positive impact on chosen career path.
