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.Our 'Campus':
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.
