We aren’t like other outdoor leadership schools. We’re just not. The QBE European Leadership School offers premium adventure sailing expeditions for high-school students that truly transform young lives. We use uncommon traditional sailboats to take you and your crewmates to off-the-beaten-path ports and anchorages along the magical coastlines of western France and southern England. You’ll learn how to sail traditional boats, you’ll raise your cultural IQ, and you’ll be able to pick from dozens of amazing experiences to write about in a college application essay. And while we can’t transform you into something you’re not, we can set you on the path to becoming all you can be. Join us for an outdoor adventure that could change… everything.

(ELS courses are run by one of Europe’s most seasoned sailing and life-skills coaches. No previous sailing experience necessary.)
