"My time with World Ocean School taught me a lot of life lessons...

like leadership, responsibility, teamwork, and also to be respectful at all times. You want to make sure everyone feels respected, loved, like they are part of something, without being left out."

How World Ocean School Helps

World Ocean School provides programs aboard our historic flagship vessel Schooner Roseway (or other tall ships) which challenge a diverse population of students academically, physically, and emotionally. Students' participation in these programs broaden their perspectives of the world, their communities, and themselves. 


Though we primarily operate in Boston, MA during the summer and in St. Croix, VI during the winter, we are proud to have engaged students from all over the globe since 2004.
