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.
The Sørlandet Foundation is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the S.S. Sørlandet. The ship occupies a significant chapter in Norwegian maritime heritage.
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.
Global education is at the core of the A+ philosophy; to be clear, we advocate the following competencies that are, de facto, the criteria against which we develop curriculum and measure outcomes. They are:
- Developing citizens of the world in relation to culture, language and learning to live together
- Building and reinforcing students' sense of identity and cultural awareness
- Fostering students' recognition and development of universal human values
- Stimulating curiosity and inquiry in order to foster a spirit of discovery and enjoyment of learning
- Equipping students with the skills to learn and acquire knowledge, individually or collaboratively, and to apply these skills and knowledge accordingly, cross a broad range of areas
- Preparing students for the realities of global economics, varied political systems and culturally diverse inter-personal practices
We teach a rigorous American, Canadian, European and Australian curriculum, which includes a wide range of Advanced Placement courses,
