Contact Our School

A+ Academy:
A+ Academy is a challenging boarding school that prepares our students for university in a global perspective. Our classes are based aboard the Norwegian tall ship Sorlandet, and our sixty qualified 11th and 12th Grade students from around the world study in 20 different locations around the globe. Our students undertake a voyage of remarkable discovery as they and their teachers set course on a circumnavigation of the world.

Outstanding academic results, unparalleled personal development, desirable employability skills and accountable young people are the hallmarks of an A+ education. With employability in the 21st century a major challenge facing the 20 to 30 year old demographic, A+ students will be steps ahead of others in their plans for a successful future.

Learning comes alive for our students through an exceptional and compelling combination of outstanding academic study, delivered within the microcosm of a tall ship, and 20+ incredible destinations within the macrocosm of the planet.

She is, by all accounts, the jewel of the world's tall ship fleet. This recognition reflects the fact that she has been in continuous service since 1927 and today proudly meets the highest of regulatory standards for ships of her class as set out by the Norwegian Flag Authorities and the International Maritime Organization. In 2013 she underwent an 8 million USD refurbishment.
