Welcome!
We are excited to announce that applications are now open for our inaugural Gap Year program.
The skills taught at The School of The New York Times are core to being a participant in a global community of thinkers. While we know that not all of our students want to become journalists someday, the writing, critical thinking and persuasive communication skills taught across all of our programs can help guide students' academic and professional paths. Gap Year is no different. The mission of this program is to give you the tools and confidence necessary to explore your interests, develop important life skills and evaluate next steps for your future.
Here is just a taste of what our Gap Year program has to offer:
- Academic coursework with real-world application. Our courses include topics such as Discovering Your Discipline, The Art of Persuasion and Cultural & Social Exploration. As a student, you will also develop an Independent Learning Project where you can cultivate your own interests while being mentored by a New York Times-affiliated faculty member.
- New York City as your classroom. Live and learn at the center of culture and commerce. Not only do our academic ventures offer multiple ways to explore all five boroughs, but our Student Life Program will check off the boxes that the classroom doesn’t. You will have limitless opportunities to immerse themselves in the neighborhoods, people and culture of this iconic city.
- A community of enthusiastic learners. Our careful selection process means that we are working hard to create a strong, diverse cohort capable of tackling the semester with open minds and eyes on the horizon. Planning a future road map can be daunting enough – Gap Year provides a safe, supportive environment to explore possibilities while working alongside experts who will inspire and guide.
