Universities where our students excel
"A dream school can become a reality after a gap year"
What is the
GAP PROGRAM?
The GAP Program is Tomujin Academy's ANCHOR program, offering intensive preparation and close personal attention to only 20 students throughout the 8 months program duration.
Our programs are not academic sprints! We care about YOU; you are not, and should not be, just a collection of academic knowledge. Our holistic program covers everything what you need to prepare for your journey to your dream school and become a well-rounded, self-aware individual.
gap year is a must
I always advise students to take a gap year. Even if you got into the top university, try working in a company, renting an apartment apart from your parents, and working with people who are different from you. These experiences can make your goals and actions in the future more productive and meaningful.
However, don't do it alone. It is a very though process. Seek out a team of people who encourage you and make you feel supported. This could be the year that your life turns around, rather than the year that you turn it off.

The Gap Program was the best 8 months of my life. It was a life changing experience and Tomujin Academy was like a family to me. The program went well beyond creating college applications and I discovered my true passions in life.

I loved Tomujin. It helped me during a time when I was lost and I am always thankful. It definitely offered a broad range of experiences I have ever had. I would recommend Tomujin to everyone because it is beneficial and the community Tomujin fosters cannot be found anywhere else.

I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT Tomujin! They were absolutely amazing, guiding me through my volunteering projects and personal growth. With their help, I nailed down what it takes to get into an Ivy League School. The counselors went above and beyond what I expected. Seriously, the whole program was awesome and now I am on my way to my dream life.
