Headquartered in Arundel, Maine, The Landing School is a full-time, accredited post-secondary school that blends education in modern yacht design, boat building and marine systems technology under one roof. Founded in 1978, The School’s inaugural program focused on Wooden Boat Building. Today, the school has grown to incorporate diploma and Associate’s degree curriculums with concentrations in five programs: Wooden Boat Building (Small and Cruising Boats), Composite Boat Building, Marine Systems and Yacht Design.

The Landing School’s driving force is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, providing graduates with the skills and understanding necessary for current employment opportunities and future career growth.  The Landing School is also approved as an institution of higher education by the Maine State Approving Agency for Veterans Education Programs.

"I am pleased that The Landing School continues to work so diligently to educate our students and the public alike in marine skills,” said Bob DeColfmacker, President at The Landing School. “As an educational institution it is incumbent upon us to take part in every opportunity to share our knowledge with others. Through our open house events we have the chance to work with the public and prospective students alike to foster a greater understanding of The School, the industry and our partners.”
