Journey School: A Gap Year That Launches You Into Calling

There are gap years… and then there are years that change the trajectory of your life.

Journey School is the World Race’s Gapless Gap Year experience: an immersive, discipleship-driven study abroad and leadership development program designed for young adults (18-23) who want more than a pause between seasons. This is for those who want to grow, build, and step into their calling with clarity.

No wasted time. No drifting. No compromising your faith.

Just intentional growth – spiritually, practically, and globally.

What Is Journey School?

Journey School is a Christian study-abroad and leadership development program built to form Christ-centered leaders through intensive experiential education, coaching, and discipleship.

You won’t just sit in classrooms. You’ll learn by doing. You’ll wrestle with real-world problems. You’ll serve in global communities. You’ll be discipled deeply. And you’ll discover who God is shaping you to become.

This is formation in motion.

• Build a Biblical foundation through daily discipleship
• Grow in leadership through hands-on experience
• Develop practical skills that translate into real-world impact
• Engage cultures face-to-face instead of through a screen

This isn’t just travel. It’s transformation with direction.
