About Us


MISSION STATEMENT


EYE of the World is an interactive traveling classroom that is designed to broaden the horizons of participating students by bringing the world to their schools. EYE is rooted in the community of sailing; a community which is well versed in the history of innovation, exploration, discovery, and diversity. Each member of EYE is dedicated to providing the tools needed by our youth in order to become successful members of the international community.

We are a group of sailors, explorers, adventurers, and students from different backgrounds; different life experiences; different interests; who have come together for one common cause: to bring the world to the schoolchildren of America.

We follow a four part plan that involves

1) creating a personal rapport with students,

2) using a combination of an interactive website, video conferencing, a documentary series, and personal journals to maintain contact with students,

3) fostering two way communication with educators to fine tune our excursions to classroom curriculum, and

4) developing a program with educators to make the most of our journey.
