Sail the Atlantic While Taking High School Classes. A + World Academy is a high school and gap year program that sails to 20 cities in 14 countries on 4 different continents on the world's oldest fully rigged tall ship, the Norwegian Sørlandet. Students learn to sail our incredible ship and take standard high school or AP® level courses while at sea. At each port we engage students in the most culturally and historically relevant aspects of the city through excursions and field experiences, opening their eyes to things they've only read about. We also give students free time (shore leave) to explore each city with their fellow students. Our students come from a variety of countries around the world and bring different perspectives and worldviews to the table. It's a truly amazing way to discover people, places, and cultures while completing a year of high school! In her 90+ year history, the Sørlandet has welcomed more than 10,000 students, providing them with a complete maritime education; teaching them to be navigators, engineers, and mariners. Not only was she the first ship in the world to welcome women to co-ed maritime education, she was also the first sail ship to offer Advanced Placement courses, and the first Nordic training vessel to complete a circumnavigation (2017). Sørlandet is a living legacy and a historic leader at the forefront of education. Kristiansand, Agder, Norway
