Say “well done!” with an unforgettable summer adventure along the magical coastlines of western France and The Channel Islands.
QBE’s European Leadership School—a best-in-class European adventure and “worldschooling” experience for 15–18-year olds
Say “Well done!” to your high school graduate with an extraordinary European adventure on our very special sailboats.
Sign your teen up to learn the sport of traditional yachting as well as make dozens of cultural, historical, and ecosystem discoveries along postcard coastlines. It’s life-elevating enrichment and ridiculous fun—an exclamation point on any secondary school career.
Each expedition includes visits to:
✅ Historic sites
✅ Museums
✅ Local festivals
✅ Cultural attractions
In 2023, we welcomed three international crews, including expeditioners from the UK, France, the United States, Croatia, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Norway, Poland, Greece, Canada, Turkey, Switzerland, and New Zealand.
“As a parent l can say that my daughter’s 3 weeks with QBE in August 2023 has been the single most remarkable experience of her life… To say that it was a sailing trip does not do justice to her ‘growing up’ experiences.””
