Atlanta Gap Year Fair

On Tuesday, Feb. 19, Pace Academy will host the Atlanta Gap Year Fair. A Gap Year is a period of time between completing high school and beginning college when a student steps outside the traditional classroom experience.


Gap Year programs give students a developmental advantage over their peers by providing them with an opportunity to expand their perspective and gain direction that give the college years meaning and focus. For many students, Gap Year programs provide them with time to develop independence and confidence as well as pursue various fields of interest.


The evening’s program will take place in Pace Academy’s Knights Hall, located on the fifth floor of the Middle School building. It will begin with a speaker at 6 p.m., and the fair will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Pace Academy is located at 966 W. Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta 30327. Parking is available in the campus's rear parking lot.
