离岸领导力项目概述
有着丰富的航海历史, Charleston offers the perfect backdrop for an academic program centered on tall-ship sail training. 十大最好的网赌平台’s 海外的领导 Program has distinguished it自我 as one of the School’s signature programs building leadership skills and a deep love for one’s natural surroundings.
上学校 students apply for the competitive program each spring and participate the following academic year. Their experience includes learning about Charleston’s maritime history, 天文导航, 海洋生物学, and study of the classics including Plato’s seafaring credo “ship, 的队友, 自我.” The class is capstoned with a week-long voyage crewing a tall ship along the east coast.
The program provides a transformation experience that instills confidence in girls. A national survey recently released shows girls’ confidence nose-dives 30% in middle school which affects the rest of their lives.* 十大最好的网赌平台’s 海外的领导 Program combats this directly by instilling confidence at vulnerable time in a girls’ life and prepares her for long-term success. It is an excellent example of the inquiry-based, experiential learning that 十大最好的网赌平台 believes cultivates 自我-reliant, 独立的思想家.

The program will also officially become a year-long course offering rather than an extracurricular commitment.
“The transition to a class will offer a deeper experience,” explains 上学校 faculty member and class instructor Roscoe Davis, Ph.D. 具体地说, there’s a philosophical basis of the OLP experience, 他解释说, that will be developed even more within a class structure. “Students have always started by 自我-identifying their weaknesses and reflecting on what they’d like to improve on. It’s all about leadership – and you can’t be a leader of others unless you’re a leader for your自我 first.”
