Throwing it back to all of the incredible places we’ve had the privilege of exploring this year.
Some were planned, and others were surprises, but the one thing we know for sure - is that we’ll make the most of our time as long as we’re together!
.
Grateful for the memories, the adventures, the lessons, and the beautiful destinations that made our travelling school dreams come true!

Need even more sailing throughout the summer?! We’ve got you covered! Our friends over at @nsseaschool are offering two amazing programs for youth 13-18, and best part, no experience needed! Bursaries and subsidies are available too! Does it get any better than that? We think not, so give them a shout and get ready to make some waves! 🌊

Can you guess what we’re making?! 🇪🇸

Earlier this week, we held our second annual Paella 🥘 cooking competition! Students were placed on one of three teams: meat, seafood or veggie! Who do you think won?! In our eyes, eating all three makes everyone a winner!

There’s nothing like a film capture to memories that will last a lifetime 💚
.
Our students love bringing film cameras on board! There’s something special about taking a photo and only being able to see the final results in the next port, or even better, after a whole year abroad!

Class Afloat is grounded in developing well-rounded young adults. Just like a ship sailing through stormy waters, there are challenges we face in life, which can be daunting and scary. However, if we learn how to sail our ship, we can navigate through the storm and come out on the other side. We are also reminded that we have control over our lives. Just as a sailor can steer their ship through stormy waters, we can take charge of our lives and steer ourselves in the direction we want to go, even in the face of challenges.
.
We try to remind ourselves and our students to embrace challenges and difficulties in life as opportunities for growth and learning. So come along for the sail 💙

Get yourself a uniform where you can do both 😂

“It is the most awe inspiring thing to stand at the top of this alpine mountain with students who have just seen the middle of the ocean and the jungle and island beaches and European cities and Carribeans towns and African ports and my heart is just blown open. So grateful for this”
