Helping boys chart a new course for life!

Aviation is a key component of treatment at Top Flight Academy. When a boy is enrolled, typically, aspects of his life are causing him to be unproductive, disillusioned and act ‘out of control’. Many parents describe behavior as, “in a downward spiral” with no positive option in sight.

Teaching aviation is usually a surprising element to those looking for intervention, but this aspect is a crucial tool for positive change, as well as an avenue for processing choices in group and individual therapy.

The aviation program provides incentive for participation, with a ‘hands-on’ approach to setting worthwhile goals, learning from consequences, and charting a better course for life.

As part of the treatment experience, students receive instruction from FAA certified instructors as they prepare for the challenge of taking the private pilot written exam.

Preparing for and taking this test will be one of the most difficult tasks at Top Flight Academy; however, the thrill of receiving a passing score will provide a memory---and self-confidence –never to be forgotten. Through the aviation experience, each boy will come to know how to ‘soar with their strengths’.
