INVESTING IN OUR CHILDREN: BEYOND ACADEMICS, CULTIVATING PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPING COMPETENCIES

A MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM FOUNDER 

Dear cadets and parent,


Embarking on a journey into the world of aviation is a conscious choice fueled by passion and dedication. Acknowledging the lack of educational opportunities for aspiring young pilots, we created this program to bridge that gap. Our mission is to mentor, prepare, and nurture the next generation of aviation professionals.

Our Cadets will be able to obtain their Private Pilot License from the age of 17 !
