Classes are taught in classrooms for 20 to 30 students. All students have access to a library, computer lab, theater, student union and two dining rooms. Passengers are also welcome to use the on-board swimming pool, basketball and volleyball court and fitness center. The institute focuses on offering students education and experience, but not everyone aboard the Explorer is a student or teacher. Each semester, about 50 non-students travel with the institute through the Continuing Education Program.
Financial aid is available for some students.
Any student or RSO wanting 15 minutes of fame can speak about the organization or discuss the issues of the day. For more information, contact Lindsay Burton at 575.5255. The show is for all ages. For more information, call 442.7213.
