Interesting experiences and skills make for interesting people. And interesting people have an edge in the college admission process. Supercharge your high-school résumé at QBE’s European Leadership School.
If your high-school résumé needs a little love, check out QBE’s European Leadership School in Saint-Malo, France. We offer two- and three-week European sailing expeditions on eye-popping old-school sailing yachts. You’ll learn how to sail a traditionally rigged boat. You’ll discover small magical ports and anchorages hidden away along the coastlines of western France and the Channel Islands. You’ll encounter a surprising coastal ecosystem. And you’ll get to navigate using only a nautical chart, a compass, and the stars. There’s no telling how many stories you’ll have to tell. Take your pick. If you can write, your essay could be… well, pretty impressive.
BTW: Our director, an expert sailing instructor, is a former expeditions master at one of Europe’s most celebrated Swiss boarding schools. He’d love to show you the ropes.
—Don’t just take our word for the extra punch outdoor enrichment can bring to your admission essay, take note of the second bullet item found on the first page of a Google search on the subject.
