Our Philosophy:

It is the intent of the Stewart's International School for Jewelers, Inc. (founded in 1975) to provide career education programs in basic and advanced jewelry repair and diamond setting, wax modeling, and lost wax casting. These programs are offered to all persons interested in learning the basic skills necessary to enter the jewelers' profession. We do not deny admission on the basis of race, religion, age, color, gender, physical handicap, national origin, or sexual preference.

Because of the nature of the programs offered, our instruction must be individualized, often on a one-to-one basis. Therefore our policy is to limit the number of students per class to a maximum of fififteen.

Our objectives are:

1. To offer a previously neglected opportunity to train jewelers who want to upgrade their skills and all individuals who are interested in entering the jewelry profession.
2. To offer resident/training programs that include most areas of jewelry repair, diamond setting, wax modeling, and lost wax casting.
3. To provide the best instruction by only trained professionals as instructors.
4. To work with vocational rehabilitation centers and individuals to provide opportunities for the physically handicapped to learn a trade that will enable them to be self-suffificient.
5. To maintain a pleasant, relaxed training atmosphere with close attention to providing and maintaining proper sanitary facilities and health and safety devices.
