Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School (informally known as Rabun Gap) is a small, private college preparatory school located in Rabun County, Georgia, United States, in the Appalachian Mountains. It is both a boarding and a day school. Rabun Gap is notable for initiating the Foxfire magazine project in 1966, experiential education based on interviewing local people, and writing and publishing articles about their stories and oral traditions. This inspired numerous schools across the country to develop similar programs.
In addition to its strong academic program,[who?] it is one of the few schools in the country to include a cirque (circus) skills program in its curriculum today. The students put on an annual performance.
Rabun Gap is home to boarding students from 50 countries and 15 states.
