Long break between classes (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

gap year

(Other definitions for gap year that I've seen before include "Student's chance to travel" , "continuum of education now interrupted" , "One's not studying now" , "Time out before study" , "When student might travel" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
