Welcome Aboard!
The Aviation Pathway provides a comprehensive curriculum, hands-on experiences, and exposure to the aviation industry with professional speakers and field trips. This industry is in high demand with endless possibilities. Our program aims to prepare you for a successful and fulfilling career. Next stop, ground school!
This program is designed for students who are interested in studying to become plane or drone pilots. Students in the Aviation Pathway choose aviation-oriented courses each year of high school with the goals of completing ground school and then pursuing either a solo flight license or a drone license.
If Air Academy High School (AAHS) is not your neighborhood school, use the School Choice process to apply. Once you are attending AAHS, there is no application process for the initial stages of the Aviation Pathway.
