We love coming into port and having our friends and families waiting for us! Just last week, we sailed into Dublin for our second parent port of the year!
.
Each year, Class Afloat students visit up to 20 locations on land and at ports of call on 4 continents. Whether exploring on a land program in Europe, or sailing into ports, students participate in experiential programs, designed to showcase the country’s culture and history, while providing students with opportunities to explore the natural landscape.

Our floaties have ALMOST completed their second Atlantic crossing! We’re due to arrive in Dublin in a few days! The Northern Atlantic crossing always brings our students, crew and staff together as they navigate the turbulent weather 💨

Throwback to our time in the Dominican Republic! @classafloat students participate in one official voluntary service-learning project per semester. Operating in a way that complements humanitarian and volunteer efforts already in place, we work closely with long-standing NGO partners on the ground to ensure our work has a positive, sustainable impact.

Last week our students put on their gloves and got to work cleaning up local beaches, protecting them from further impact from invasive species! We also got to take a closer look at corals from the area and learn about how they protect life underwater! Experiences like this take courses like marine biology and ocean science to the next level! Imagine LIVING your courses in addition to LEARNING your courses!

"I can't say it any other way...sailing Concordia remains the most life affirming thing I've ever done. Some of the fondest and hardest memories I have".
Chris O'Neil, Class Afloat Student 1996-97

Remembering the fond times, and the hard times, and today especially, the Concordia Crew of 2009-10.

❗️INFO SESSION COMING YOUR WAY❗️

West Island College International - Class Afloat is a private school based in Nova Scotia that operates on a Class-A tall ship. We offer full grade 11 and grade 12 high school curriculums on board while sailing around the world to over 15 ports of call. At Class Afloat our goal is to utilize sail training tradition to explore and build a strong sense of community. With Kurt Hahn’s principles of experiential learning as a foundation, Class Afloat students develop their confidence, compassion, and awareness to graduate as global citizens for the 21st century. At present, there are 48 students on board, and over 20 professional crew/ faculty.
.
You will join the program on-land in Berlin, Germany in September of 2023 for a week long immersive faculty orientation. After welcoming students, and undertaking classes and travel in two locations (Berlin, Germany and Heino, Netherlands), you and the Class Afloat crew will board our floating campus, the Alexander von Humbolt II mid-October. The itinerary includes stops in Western Europe, Northern and Western Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and Northern Europe. Daily stipend, flights, health coverage, gear issue, accommodation, and food are all included.

📣WELCOME TO THE 2022 BEACH OLYMPICS 📣

Hold on…did someone just say SWIM CALL?! ‼️‼️‼️
.
Swim calls are a special treat for our floaties when the waters are calm and the sails are still. Hands down these are some of the best memories our floaties have. Where was your favourite swim call?! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Located on the banks of the Suriname River, students will have the chance to explore the ornate wooden Dutch colonial buildings of Paramaribo and tour the Amazon, learning from local guides about the medicinal properties of jungle plants. Crew members will also have the chance to ride on long, motorized canoes on the Upper Suriname River in the hopes of spotting caimans. Keep your eyes peeled!
