Flying That Fits Your Education

You do not have to wait until after college to start, and you do not have to join the Armed Forces to get quality training. There is a real shortage of professional pilots, which makes aviation a high-demand field with room for new people entering it now.

Here is how training at High Flight fits around school:

College Credit Options

As a certified provider for the CCBC Aviation Program and a partner to local schools, we can train toward academic credit. Ask your guidance counselor, dean, or enrollment specialist about credit at your school.

Train on Your Own Time

Even if your school does not grant credit for flight lessons, you can still train on your own schedule. We fly seven days a week, so lessons fit around classes and exams.

A Real Career Path

Students can become a professional commercial pilot after age 18. Learning to fly is also hands-on STEM, applying science, technology, engineering, and math in the cockpit.
