The district originally offered the private ground course to students as an elective, before becoming an official academy in August.
The academy has 125 students from freshmen to seniors. They work on block schedules and have the academy every other day for two hours. On top of classroom work, students get to work with state-of-the art simulators and drone practice.
With the Private Pilot’s License, Nathalia can fly anywhere around the country solo or with passengers if it’s not compensated. Her ultimate dream is to become a commercial airline pilot or fly pilot jets.
No, nothing says how much it costs to go to Boca Raton high school, or what that aviation class would cost anyone else, or how much the flying lessons cost. But Av gas is about 7 dollars a gallon around here, and 88 hours of flight time, that's got to be 3 or 4 gallons an hour. So, just in gas alone I'm guessing 1500.
