2．Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship!The ship is 210 feet long and 30 feet wide，and it can take up to sixty students．The classrooms are well-equipped and comfortable，and there's even a library!It isn't necessary to know anything about sailing----students can learn on the ship．

Students don't just study．They must also clean，cook and sail the ship．In their free time，students can rest，read，or watch a movie．In the evening，they relax with friends and have club meetings．
Every sixteen to twenty days，the ship stops in a port for three to six days．In port there's lots for the students to do--homestays，camping trips，museum tours，cultural events，hiking，etc．They also go boating and do other water sports．Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term．
