Happy Earth Day 2021! 🌍

“The cure for anything is saltwater – sweat, tears, or the sea.” - Isak Dinesen ⛵️

You may just find all three during your time at sea with Class Afloat! During a semester or year at sea, our students experience exponential personal growth and development. From their work on board the ship to the self-discovery that takes place during port calls and at sea, as they navigate living 24/7 as part of a 60 person student community day-in and day-out. Our alumni will often say that Class Afloat is the BEST and HARDEST thing you’ll ever do, and we couldn’t agree more.

Does Class Afloat have uniforms? ➡️ Yes. No.

Does Class Afloat have uniforms?
➡️ Yes. No. Umm... sort of!

Our #schoolatsea is a blend of traditional schooling in a very non-traditional environment! 📚 So, of course our uniforms are anything but ordinairy.

In addition to outfits required for formal ceremonies and certain port programs, each student is equipped with the gear required to ensure they're well outfitted in the case of foul weather while standing watch on board the @guldenleeuw ⛵️

Rain or shine, the ship must sail! 🌧

💡 Did you know that the Class Afloat program was founded in 1984, the same year the @unitednations International Youth Year?

Coincidence? Certainly not.

🌍 In fact, the influential and impactful themes of peace, participation and development can still be seen today, interwoven throughout our academic and experiential curriculum, both on land and at sea.

Our COMMUNITY is at the centre of everything we do. 🤝

The Class Afloat experience is a unique and rare opportunity for students to define the values of their community and to live these values with intention each day as we take on the shared experience of studying, sail training and exploration in port!

Getting ready for the long weekend ahead with this

Getting ready for the long weekend ahead with this flashback to flying Bermuda Kites with our class of 2012-2013! 🌈

Bermuda Kites are typically flown on Good Friday, the Friday leading upto Easter weekend each year, and are made of multicoloured paper tissue, wood and string. Some are made to emit a humming or buzzing sound, some have long cloth tails and are huge in size, and others, like the Somerset brown paper kite, are made of brown paper and cross sticks.

What's your favourite thing to do in beautiful Bermuda? ☀️
