What we do

At The Gap Network, we specialize in placing Australian high school graduates in prestigious UK boarding schools for a transformative gap year experience before they embark on their college journey.

Another has their back to the camera wearing a hoodie that reads 'Year 12 2022', while others engage in conversation nearby.

Professional

The Gap Network is solely focused on helping find good candidates and then supporting them through each step of the journey. We do not play a numbers game; instead, we offer a highly personalized service.

The Gap Network total fees and associated charges are lower than competitors, making your Gap Year more affordable. The money saved can be spent on travel when you actually get to Europe – not on agency fees before you leave Australia!

A group of children in school uniforms walk along a sandy path near the ocean, accompanied by two adults who may be their guardians or teachers. The children carry red school bags and appear to be walking with purpose, possibly towards or from school. The setting is bright and open, with the sea visible in the background, and the sky is clear.
