Baret Scholars is a premium gap year program. It brings together 180 high school graduates from 40 countries to spend a full academic year (September to May) traveling the world and learning from 20 faculty from an array of professions. Devised and led by graduates of Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and Cambridge, the program is a journey and a curated balance of structure and independence to foster a sense of independence and deep curiosity.
Baret Scholars takes students to seven regions of the world — North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, India and China — for their cultural, economic and political significance. They spend a month in each region–20 days in a city and 10 days in small groups on selected educational expeditions.
In the cities, they invite leaders in their fields to talk, discuss, and perform the history, politics, and culture of each region. Beyond our cities, for 10 days students voyage in small groups to pivotal neighboring towns and cities to experience the region in greater complexity and acquire skills for future professions.
Throughout the journey, Baret Scholars faculty provides one-on-one advising and mentorship to prepare students for their futures. For more information, contact Naijing Guo at naijing.guo@baretscholars.org
