The after-school program is now open for enrollment
Global Flight Adventures offers after-school group classes for students ages 12–15.
This two-semester program will begin on Thursday, September 24, 2026. The first semester, designed for beginners, will run through December 17, 2026. The second semester, at the advanced level, will begin on February 25, 2027, and continue through June 3, 2027.
We provide engaging, entertaining, and educational programs that give teenagers an exciting introduction to the world of aviation. Students will learn the fundamentals of flight, navigation, and the differences between operating small and large aircraft. Along the way, they will also explore real-world applications of math and physics in a fun and practical setting. Space is limited in order to provide students with a more personalized, hands-on experience.
In addition to classroom instruction, students will spend time flying our state-of-the-art Boeing 737 simulator, which recreates one of the world’s most popular airliners in remarkable detail. They will also train in our Cessna 172 simulators, which replicate one of the most widely used general aviation aircraft with the same impressive realism.
Classes are held once a week, with each session lasting two hours at our simulator center. This is a unique opportunity for students to experience what it feels like to be a pilot and to discover a passion for aviation that could last a lifetime.
Please note that enrollment covers two semesters. The payment below is for one semester only. To pay for the full year in advance, please add 2 semesters to your cart.

Program Goals
Our program offers an incredible glimpse into the captivating world of flight, where students not only acquire a comprehensive understanding of the basics and history of aviation but also develop essential life skills. Here's a closer look at what our students will learn:
1. Fundamentals and Aviation History: Students will delve into the fundamentals of aviation, gaining insight into the principles of flight, aircraft systems, and the rich history of aviation pioneers. This knowledge forms the foundation of their aviation education.
2. Cooperation and Teamwork: Aviation is built on collaboration and teamwork. Our program places a strong emphasis on cooperation, teaching students how to effectively work together in various aviation scenarios. They'll experience the importance of clear communication and shared responsibility.
3. Handling Pressure: In the aviation world, quick thinking under pressure is crucial. Campers will learn how to stay composed and make sound decisions during simulated flight situations, instilling confidence and resilience in them.
4. Responsibility and Accountability: Understanding the consequences of one's actions is a vital life lesson. Through our program, students will grasp the significance of responsibility, particularly when it comes to their in-flight decisions and actions.
5. Math and Physics: Aviation involves mathematics and physics at its core. Students will apply these subjects practically, reinforcing their classroom learning and demonstrating the real-world relevance of these disciplines.
6. Leadership Development: Leadership skills are honed through aviation. Our program encourages students to take on leadership roles, fostering qualities like communication, problem-solving, and decision-making that are essential in both aviation and everyday life.
The program's pinnacle moment is the simulated solo flight experience, mirroring the takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach, and landing phases, just like real pilots. This hands-on experience allows students to apply what they've learned and gain a profound sense of accomplishment. Upon successful completion, they will receive our prestigious GFA wings, symbolizing their achievement and commitment to aviation excellence.
Our aim is to provide students with a genuine taste of the pilot's life. Through this experience, they might discover a deep passion for aviation, much like the dedicated professionals who inspire and instruct them. By enrolling in our aviation program, students not only acquire knowledge and skills that are invaluable in aviation but also develop life skills that will serve them well in any path they choose to pursue. We invite them to embark on this exciting journey, where the sky is not the limit but the beginning of endless possibilities in the world of flight. Who knows, they might indeed fall in love with aviation, just as we have!
