IYRS is a world-class experiential learning school in Rhode Island with a hands-on education model dedicated to teaching highly technical and deeply craft-oriented career skills. IYRS currently has three accredited schools, School of Composites Technology, School of Boatbuilding & Restoration and School of Marine Systems. Additionally, IYRS regularly collaborates with post-secondary schools of architecture, preservation, industrial design and engineering through short-term classes, including recently with MIT, Harvard, RISD, Roger Williams and others.

The skills acquired in these programs are transferrable across industries and applications, from digital manufacturing to traditional making and restoration fields. With campuses in Newport and Bristol, RI, IYRS offers an extraordinarily attractive location to study.
