For Parents & Young Pilots

Let Your Kids Fly: Flight Lessons for Young Pilots

High Flight Academy is a safe, fun, professional place for students as young as 13 to learn to fly. Beyond being a thrill, flying is hands-on STEM and the first step toward a high-demand career. With airline-oriented training from day one, your student can build toward a professional pilot career while they are still in school.

Why Start Young at High Flight

There is a real shortage of professional pilots in the United States, and airlines are competing for new talent with strong pay, sign-on bonuses, and tuition reimbursement. A student who starts now can be set up for that career by the time they graduate.

Here is what your student gets at High Flight:

Start as Young as 13

We provide a safe, fun, professional environment for new young pilots. No experience is necessary, and you set the pace for your student's training.

More Than a Hobby

Training is airline-oriented from day one, with pilot recruiting events, instructor job placement, and airline-sponsored tuition reimbursement for qualified students.

Hands-On STEM

Flying applies science, technology, engineering, and math in a way a classroom cannot, building real understanding and confidence.
