The Class Afloat program offers grade 11, 12, first-year university and gap year students the opportunity to join a community of motivated youth, faculty and mariner crew as they sail to 20+ ports on four continents, engage in voluntary service projects and redefine their roles as global citizens. All academic credits earned with Class Afloat are fully accredited and are transferable to Canadian and international secondary schools, universities and colleges.
