About this school
The Landing School is a private non-profit trade school located in Arundel, Maine. It is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, and students can use federal financial aid (Title IV) to help pay for their education. The campus focuses on a single program family: auto mechanic training, with 21 completers reported in federal data out of an undergraduate enrollment of 32.
Federal outcomes data shows a 100.0% completion rate at this campus, well above the Maine state average of 56.7% for comparable programs. Graduates report median earnings of $65,849 ten years after entry, per the College Scorecard. About 9.3% of students receive Pell Grants, suggesting a relatively small share of low-income enrollees. Median debt of graduates and annual cost of attendance are not reported for this campus in federal data.
Given its narrow focus and small enrollment, this campus may suit students seeking a concentrated, hands-on auto mechanics program rather than a broad multi-trade catalog. The rural fringe locale and small cohort size may appeal to students who prefer close instructor contact, though specific program lengths and schedules are not reported here — prospective students should confirm these directly with the school. To verify accreditation status and outcomes independently, check the ACCSC accreditor listing and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard using the link provided for this institution.
