The Landing School Mission

Mission Statement

The School’s mission is to effectively prepare men and women for careers in the marine industry as practical designers, builders and systems technicians who work professionally on today’s vessels, adapt to the industry’s evolving technology and appreciate the traditions of the past.

The Landing School blends modern yacht design, boat building and marine systems technology under one roof. The School bridges the gap between theory and practice to provide graduates with the skills and understanding necessary for current employment opportunities and future career growth. The School offers five training options, each one designed to prepare students for careers in the marine industry.

Philosophy

Learn by doing. This is our very simple and extremely effective approach to teaching students in each of our programs. Because of combined classroom and workshop structure, students leave The Landing School with an education that is second to none.

Our faculty reinforces and preserves traditional practices while employing the latest techniques to ensure that our students walk away with a well-rounded education that will serve them now and in the future. Because of our attention to students as individuals and our renowned faculty, The Landing School has become known as a premier institution in the marine industry.
