Considering a Gap year at IBI?

These are important days of decision for anyone who has completed the Leaving Certificate or A Levels. Not only is it a milestone that marks the culmination of years of hard work, but the choices they make in the next weeks may set the future direction of their lives.

As a parent, relative, family friend or church leader, we know you will want the best for students you know. But we also realise that it can be a time of uncertainty, especially if the results or future plans aren’t coming together as expected.
If you know a student who is reconsidering their options or simply unsure of the next step, have you considered suggesting a gap year at IBI? This could be a wonderful opportunity to grow in ways that will benefit them in all aspects of life, whether they eventually pursue college or another path.


What are the benefits of a Gap Year?

 

Here are some reasons why studying Applied Theology for a year at IBI could be a great fit:

  • Spiritual Growth: This year offers students a chance to deepen their faith and develop a solid spiritual foundation, which will guide them in whatever they choose to do next.

  • Academic and Personal Development: Bible college isn’t just about studying scripture. At IBI students will learn to think critically, engage with diverse perspectives, and develop leadership skills.

  • Community and Support: Students will be part of a caring and supportive community where they can build lifelong friendships and find mentors who are dedicated to helping them grow.

  • Purpose and Clarity: A gap year at IBI provides the space for students to reflect on their future, seek God’s direction, and discover their unique calling.

We believe this could be a transformative experience, one that will prepare students not only for further studies or career opportunities but for life as a whole. If this sounds like something that might benefit someone you know, we would love to share more details about our Applied Theology Certificate at IBI.
