A+ World Academy provides much more than a world-class education. Learning occurs on our Norwegian tall ship, the S.S. Sørlandet, which takes 55 students in grades 10-12 to twenty ports around the world each year, fostering personal growth, global awareness, and important leadership and life skills.  Advanced Placement courses and our A+ Signature Program combined with the exceptional hands-on learning experiences at each port deliver academic excellence.

Curriculum comes alive through exceptional hands-on learning opportunities in each of the twenty ports of call. Students explore nearly all the continents spending more than 100 days and 250 hours engaged in linking textbook learning to carefully planned and executed real-life learning opportunities.

As a non-profit School that is partially funded by the Norwegian government, students are offered the best. The safest itineraries and trouble-free destinations, and routes driven by favorable weather conditions are all delivered aboard the world’s oldest and most respected fully-rigged sailing ship.

A+ World Academy students will return to shore stronger, more tolerant, more responsible and smarter. Students are transformed into responsible global citizens of unparalleled quality who rank at the top of every college, university and job market candidate's list. 

We offer a rolling admissions following a first come, first serve policy.
