TAS accepts up to six Gap students at a time for a 12 month period beginning in either late January (for Southern Hemisphere applicants) or July (Northern Hemisphere applicants).

GAP students are offered lodging, all meals (during term time), an allowance, and other benefits including free membership to our indoor swim centre, gymnasium and weights room. Gap Assistant duties will involve assisting staff in each of our schools, administration, in our Outdoor and Adventure program, excursions, and sport coaching.
