High School Program

คำอธิบายหลักสูตร

60 students in grades 11 and 12 live and work on a Norwegian tall ship, ‘Sørlandet’, while studying AP courses and traveling the world.

Live and learn. Explore the world outside of the classroom. In 20 ports around the world, we balance our time between free time (‘Shore leave’) and organised activities (‘Field Studies’) with cultural and academic objectives.

For 10 months you will live alongside students from around the world. Not only will you meet people from other cultures with a variety of backgrounds, but you will learn to live and work closely together.

Our students follow a rigorous academic program based on a selection of Advanced Placement courses. The instruction is traditional and similar to any other school. All instruction, however happens at sea while moving from one destination to the next. Seven international teachers lead, guide, and support our students around the clock throughout the year.
