A 6-Week Aviation Exploration Course

​

Offered in partnership with The Homeschool Hangar and taught by pilot Cristian Duran from Core Aviator Training, this hands-on aviation course introduces students ages 6 and up to the exciting world of flight. Students will learn how airplanes work through experiments, real aircraft observation, aviation history, weather studies, and basic navigation skills. Activities are tailored by age group so younger and older learners can explore aviation at their level while still learning together. Throughout the course, students will build their own Flight Logbook to record experiments, sketch aircraft, track weather, and reflect on what they learn, just like real pilots.

Discovery Flight (Optional Upgrade)

Families may choose to add a Discovery Flight, a supervised introductory flight experience with pilot Cristian Duran.

This experience reinforces what they have learned in class and gives them a real pilot’s perspective.
