Target demographics: There is no such thing as a typical IYRS student. We have an international student body made up of men and women from all walks of life, and our students have a wide age-range: from recent High School graduates, to adults in mid-career looking to change their livelihoods and their lives.
Geographic areas served: Because IYRS students come from around the globe and from all walks of life, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to what each student needs during his or her time at the school. Our students benefit from one-on-one support during the admissions process, during their time at IYRS as they sort through their options for financial aid and scholarships and housing, and as they formulate their educational goals and work with our staff to parlay those goals into meaningful careers.
Programs: Boatbuilding and Restoration; Marine Systems; Composites Technology. Our training programs prepare students to handle every challenge the marine industry may hold, and IYRS students benefit from an education that immerses them in problem solving, teamwork, project management, hands-on skills, and a culture of craftsmanship. Our curricula, faculty, and location are key to the success of the school and our students.
