Aviation & Flight Science (AFS) is a high-flying STEM experience designed by veteran pilots and aerospace engineers. AFS offers students the opportunity to undertake a significant portion of real-world flight training inside their classrooms and apply their STEM learnings in the engaging aviation framework.

The program focuses on a realistic flight training curriculum where students will explore the fundamentals of flight controls, aerodynamics, and piloting skills. Students will be engaged in various activities requiring them to apply math and science knowledge to tackle challenges on computer flight simulators. During this interactive, experiential learning, students will be equipped with and continue to learn career skills, including critical thinking, public speaking, task management, teamwork, and effective communication
