The school system aboard Freedom Ship will provide the world standard for
quality in education to students (US grades K through 12) who live aboard the ship.
The quality of education is one of many factors anticipated to promote the appreciation
of real estate values aboard Freedom Ship.
Curriculum:
Our system of schools will provide a rigorous educational curriculum developed by
blending the best attributes from other school systems around the world to create
a truly unique and challenging classroom environment. Although the final curriculum
has not yet been determined, FSI is dedicated to providing an environment that
stresses the following areas of study. History, geography, and the arts will be
stressed along with foreign language; all students will be bilingual at graduation.
The sciences along with mathematics and engineering will compose another major
area of study. Finally, financial education will be stressed as each and every
child is exposed on a daily basis to international commerce both aboard the ship
and ashore. However, the time students spend in the classroom will be limited.
The Real Classroom:
A portion of the education will happen outside of the classroom as daily field trips
to see the world firsthand will be the norm. In effect, students will board ferries
instead of buses to visit their classroom…the world in its entire splendor! The ability
to see and experience other people and their cultures firsthand is what sets Freedom Ship's
school system apart from the rest.
Sports:
Athletic facilities aboard the ship will facilitate organized sports for the
school system. Basketball, tennis, track, swimming and diving, gymnastics,
American football, soccer, hockey, and facilities for a variety of other sports
from around the world will be an integral part of the school system. Students will
compete against other schools aboard the ship and with other schools around the world.
In effect, students will have their own World Cup for each sport as they travel ashore
to compete against schools from around the world and, likewise, as those teams travel
to Freedom Ship to play our students for home games as well.
Facilities:
FSI is dedicated to providing the school system with the highest quality
facilities possible. Technology will be incorporated into every aspect of classroom
learning. The International Library and athletic facilities will provide further
opportunities for growth. However, the caring and highly qualified teachers and
other professionals will prove invaluable to your child's education. A boarding
school for non-residents is also being considered. Universities are expected to have
adjunct campuses aboard as well. FSI is dedicated to providing this educational
environment to students at a lower cost to parents when compared to the average
yearly cost in taxes to send a child to a public school in the United States.
