Academy at Watkinson: A Pre-College Year Designed by You

Prepare yourself for college both mentally and psychologically by taking a gap year at the Academy at Watkinson. Here, we allow our students to develop at their own pace and grow as individuals before embarking on their bachelor's degree journey. Our students have the option of taking college level courses at the University of Hartford with transfer credits to get a clearer idea of what college level classes will be like. Enter the Academy at Watkinson for a part gap year, part post-graduate year and engage with our unique educational philosophy. Our alumni all show an enhanced ability to thrive independently wherever they choose.
