In the fierce competition for places at elite universities and colleges, it’s often not enough to outsmart your competition, you also have to “out-experience” them.
If you’re looking for the best secondary education possible for your son or daughter, you’ll need more than a high school with a country-club campus and all-star faculty. You’ll need outstanding enrichment programs to upgrade your teen’s high-school résumé. The European Leadership School may have the perfect solution. We offer European adventure sailing and personal-development expeditions on classic sailboats—SPECTACULAR classic sailboats.
All crew members learn how to sail traditionally rigged boats. They discover small under-the-radar ports and anchorages along the magical coastlines of western France and southern England. They encounter a surprisingly vibrant ecosystem. And they get to navigate their boats across the English Channel—with no help (unless absolutely necessary) from our skippers. There’s no telling how many stories your teens will have to tell. They can take their pick. If they can write, their college application essays could be… well, pretty impressive.
BTW: Our director, an expert sailing instructor, is a former expeditions master at one of Europe’s best-known international schools. He’d love to show your teen the ropes.
(No previous sailing experience necessary.)
