Published on November 13th, 2024
With remote learning not uncommon for young racing sailors, AEON School has been named the Official School of US Sailing. Providing learning experience for students through Grade 12, this partnership will provide the opportunity to pursue academics amid training and competitions.
“AEON and US Sailing are committed to fostering the next generation of leaders, both on the water and in the classroom,” said Eric Krasnoo, SVP of Membership, Partnerships, and Marketing at US Sailing. “This partnership ensures that sailors can continue their academic progress while giving space to also focus on sailing, whether it is their performance in training and competition, or their career development to join the marine industry.”
With a focus on live, small-group instruction, push-button access to office hours with dedicated faculty, and a proven track record in college placement, AEON delivers rigorous academics with needed flexibility. The school’s 12-month academic calendar allows sailors to organize their time on and off the water.
Formerly known as Avenues Online, AEON School serves students from over 36 countries across six continents. This collaboration continues AEON’s history of successful partnerships with youth sports organizations
“We recognize that the pursuit of excellence in both academics and athletics plays a pivotal role in shaping our students’ future paths,” said Maggie Wollner, Head of School, AEON. “We are excited about the opportunities this partnership will create for talented young sailors, who will join our global community of lifelong learners.”
