The Landing School of Boatbuilding & Design Enters Agreement with Northeast Maritime Institute – College of Maritime Science

ARUNDEL, Maine and FAIRHAVEN, Mass. — The Landing School and Northeast Maritime Institute – College of Maritime Science (NMI) are pleased to announce that the parties have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding establishing a collaborative framework through which The Landing School’s educational mission, institutional legacy, and community presence may continue well into the future.

While the viability and precise contours of any long-term arrangement remain subject to comprehensive due diligence, regulatory review, and definitive agreements, both institutions are committed to conducting an expedited and good-faith evaluation process over the next thirty (30) days.

Most importantly, both organizations want current and incoming students, families, alumni, faculty, and industry partners to know that every effort is being made to preserve continuity, stability, and confidence in the future of The Landing School. Students who have already committed to programs are strongly encouraged to remain engaged during this process as the institutions work diligently toward a sustainable operational pathway that protects educational opportunities and preserves the School’s unique identity.

Founded in 1981, Northeast Maritime Institute – College of Maritime Science is one of America’s leading private maritime educational institutions, recognized internationally for workforce development, maritime safety, technical education, simulation-based training, and credentialing programs supporting the maritime, transportation, offshore energy, and marine industries. Through its campuses, global partnerships, and advanced digital learning infrastructure, NMI has developed a reputation for creating practical, employment-focused educational pathways while preserving the traditions and values of the maritime profession.

The discussions between the institutions are centered on preserving and strengthening The Landing School’s longstanding role as one of New England’s most respected centers for experiential education, craftsmanship, marine systems technology, wooden boatbuilding, yacht design, and applied technical training.

“For generations, The Landing School has represented something deeply important through the preservation of craftsmanship, innovation, hands-on learning, and the maritime traditions that have helped shape New England’s identity,” said Eric R. Dawicki, President of Northeast Maritime Institute – College of Maritime Science. “Our objective is not simply to preserve a school, but to help protect a legacy, support its students and faculty, and work collaboratively toward a future where The Landing School can continue serving its community for decades to come. We strongly encourage students to stay the course with confidence as we aggressively explore a framework designed to provide long-term stability and renewed opportunity.”

For students who have already enrolled, deposits will continue to be securely maintained during this accelerated diligence period. However, any student who wishes to request the return of their deposit may do so expressly and directly through The Landing School.

Both institutions look forward to providing additional updates as discussions progress over the coming weeks. The most up-to-date information will be shared on The Landing School website at www.landingschool.edu as well as official email and social media channels.
