As with learning any skill, there is no one way to learn or teach. Some will benefit from structured curriculum, others will prefer one-on-one personalized instruction. We feel it is important to be educated to the various available options so that you may make an informed decision based on your learning style and goals.
All schools on SailingSchools.app are categorized by what curriculum programs they offer. This typically will affiliate them with a school program such as NauticEd. Schools that are affiliated with NauticEd will appear with a NauticEd badge.
