The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the world's largest aviation community, is building aviation STEM curriculum for high schools across America. When complete, the program will be the first of its kind, offering students comprehensive four-year aviation study options that are aligned to rigorous math and science standards used in many states nationwide.

We’re creating these courses as part of two career and technical education pathways: pilot and unmanned aircraft systems (drones). Each pathway will be four years in length, and schools can decide to implement one or more complete pathways, or select individual courses to use as standalone electives. Schools may now apply to use the 9 -12 grade courses. 

Thanks to generous donations to the AOPA Foundation, all courses will be offered to high schools at no charge.
