A postgraduate year is a gap year—a break between completing high school and beginning college—that allows a student access to the exceptional resources and academic preparation of a top New England boarding school. NMH's postgraduate (PG) program is thoughtfully designed, and it is supported by a dedicated advisor and a class academic dean who helps postgraduates meet their academic and other goals. A postgraduate year allows for an additional year of skill-building and maturation, which makes students more competitive in the college admission process.
