Both Female and Male Students

Boarding Students: Boarding students may bring items for personal enjoyment such as a small television (14" maximum), self-contained stereo systems, radio, and personal computer, provided such items fit in their desk space. These items are not to be loaned to other cadets.

Boarding and Day Students: All Students are welcome to bring equipment such as tennis racquets, baseball gloves, guitars, amplifiers, keyboards, skateboards, and surfboards.   Students must be responsible for these items:  Florida Air Academy can not be responsible for the safe-keeping of these items.

We encourage students to bring their desktop or laptop computers. Students may not borrow or loan computers or any other electronic equipment to each other.

WHAT NOT TO BRING: Prohibited Items

  • Electrical appliances (i.e., irons or hot plates), hair clippers, beepers, cellular phones with cameras, weapons, knives, ammunition, explosives, flammable materials, aerosol cans.
  • Bicycles, regular or in-line skates, lacrosse sticks, personal barbells or other weight-training gear.
  • Expensive jewelry (gets lost easily), or other expensive or irreplaceable personal items.
