Schedule your students for a class tour and hands-on activities in the terminal, hangars and yes, in airplanes both big and small!
We are passionate about creating memorable experiences for students to connect with aviation principles, airport operations and an important community resource.

Whether it’s a high-school introduction to flight class or a full aviation summer school, if you have a vision for aviation-related education, we want to hear from you.
Our Partners for the Next Generation of Aviation
“Our goal is to introduce kids to aviation and all aspects of it. Whether it be flying or being an aircraft mechanic or being in flight scheduling or any other number of things that involve aviation.”
Flight Path
Flight Path is a nonprofit youth aviation education program located out of WMRA. Their Flight Night programs are a free educational opportunity for middle and high school students to explore various fields within aviation. Flight Path and WMRA connect students to plane mechanics, flight schedulers, corporate pilots and other aviation specialists onsite to talk to the students and answer questions.
Flight Nights provide a fun introduction to aviation that include VR flights on the Redbird simulator, cockpit tours on real planes, and presentations from aviation professionals on the history of the industry.

STEM Flights
National aviation education non-profit STEM Flights engages students in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics necessary for a career in aviation. STEM Flights recently expanded their program into Michigan, and their new partnership with Flight Path will help students take their interest in aviation to a higher level.
The STEM Flights program coordinates a national network of volunteer pilots who mentor students interested in aviation. Pilots educate the students on the core STEM principles and introduce them to potential aviation careers.
