Maritime Studies at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School
Approximately 90% of the island’s high school freshman class enrolls in the MVRHS Career and Technical Education Exploratory program. CTE is an opportunity for 9th graders to explore a variety of career pathways, including a glimpse at the maritime industry, with an introduction to knotwork, mechanical advantage, basic navigation, and the practical application of Archimedes’ principles.
Students in the more advanced Maritime Studies classes work their way through the navigation and general deck safety aspects of the USCG captains’ license course, take a deep dive into naval architecture, and learn about boat design as they progress through their high school education.
