The Largest Flight Training Program of any High School in the World!

Our unique Space Coast location offers young men and women a different kind of classroom. With Kennedy Space Center, Patrick Air Force Base, and Melbourne International Airport just minutes away from campus, students can see and hear aviation come to life in the form of a rocket launch and the unmistakable roar of an F-16. Designed to meet the needs of the individual, our programs teach not only the basics of aviation, but responsibility and decision-making skills as well.

Our aviation flight school programs are structured so that they don't interfere with the academic day. Experienced flight instructors from the nearby Florida Institute of Technology possess college degrees and are fully licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration. A Flight Coordinator employed by the Academy monitors each student's progress, ensuring that the highest quality and safety standards are maintained.

Training aircraft are minutes away at Melbourne International Airport, which is a modern full-service facility. Over 30 single and twin engine aircraft are available for training, including Piper Warriors, the complex retractable-gear Arrow, and the multi-engine Seminole.
