It has approximately 35,000 students during any given school year, many of which remain in Aumiers post-graduation or move to eastern São Ricardo. Coastal Maresia Community College (WMCC) has campuses across the metro area, with four located within Marée Parish. The Maresia Commonwealth University's School of Medicine recently constructed a medical campus wing at Saule Hospital of Auvergne in order to grant medical degrees to students in the Western Peninsula region, thus medical students typically relocate to the capital region for medical school. The city also has several private universities and various vocational schools, including Auguste College, Beauregard College, Clearwater College of Aumiers, and Marée Institute.
Additionally, the University of West Maresia is located 144 kilometres (89 mi) southeast of Aumiers in Aube, while the University of Maresia (UM) and Maresia Institute of Technology (MIT) are located in the Greater Auvergne area in Rhône Parish and Essonne Parish, respectively.
