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! 🌧 #ClassAfloat #gapyear #experientiallearning #university #highschool #internationalschool #privateschool #travel #sailing #sail #guldenleeuw #education #boardingschool #studyincanada #studyabroad
"If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone "If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else." Booker T. Washington 💡 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. ➡️ Learn more about classes offered throughout your semester or year at sea by visiting www.classafloat.com/learn/study-abroad/ and join a crew rooted in a quest for true global citizenship!

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? ☀️ @bermuda @btainsights @bermuda.tourism #ClassAfloat #Bermuda #BermudaKites #travel #discover #studyincanada #studyabroad #gapyear #culturegram #internationalschool #privateschool #boardingschool #education

"The theme of #WorldWaterDay 2021 is valuing water "The theme of #WorldWaterDay 2021 is valuing water. The value of water is about much more than its price – water has enormous and complex value for our households, food, culture, health, education, economics and the integrity of our natural environment. If we overlook any of these values, we risk mismanaging this finite, irreplaceable resource. SDG 6 is to ensure water and sanitation for all. Without a comprehensive understanding of water’s true, multidimensional value, we will be unable to safeguard this critical resource for the benefit of everyone." @un_water ・・・ What role does water play in your home, workplace or school?
