Overview
 If youre looking for a unique educational adventure, one that is not confined by the four walls of a traditional classroom, then Sea|mester could be the right program for you. Throughout the year, Sea|mester offers global semester at sea voyages year for college students and high school graduates. S/Y Ocean Star, our 88-foot schooner sails full-time in the Caribbean, whereas our new vessel S/Y Argo circumnavigates the world. Along the way, our crews visits many different islands and countries, undertaking research and service projects with local government and private organizations while simultaneously working toward their academics and certifications
The structure of all voyages is based upon principles of experiential and adventure education. Youll learn marine science and oceanography as you dive and conduct research on the reefs; geology as you trek through mountainous terrain; meteorology and navigation as you plot your course across the ocean; leadership and communication skills as you work within a close team. The learning is multifaceted, so the curriculum, as well as the day-to-day itinerary and schedule, come to life. The experience is unforgettable, life-defining and rewarding, not simply as an adjunct part, but rather a benchmark of your education. In this stimulating environment the expedition becomes the vehicle for gaining knowledge, understanding, confidence and skills.
During a Sea|mester voyage, both practical and conceptual techniques are applied. Under the guidance of professional staff our students earn college credits for both academic and vocational activities. No experience is necessary; professional instructors work with students one step at a time to assure that all goals are met.
Sea|mester programs are coeducational and non-competitive. The activities are not physically demanding, yet are challenging enough to teach the crew to work together.
