A Note from Our Founder

A few years ago, I watched my daughter graduate high school with honors but no clear direction. She was overwhelmed by choices and unsure about her next steps. Witnessing her struggle sparked a question: What if there were a structured way to turn this uncertainty into a period of growth? 

That’s how The Growth Year was born — a program designed to transform the traditional gap year into a purposeful journey.

We understand the concerns parents have: Will this time be productive? Will my teen fall behind? Our program addresses these fears by providing a clear roadmap, personalized coaching, and real-world experiences that equip students with the confidence and skills they need for the future.

Our mission is simple: to help young adults navigate this pivotal time with intention and clarity.

If you’re seeking a meaningful path forward for your teen, I invite you to explore what The Growth Year can offer.
