What they do
USING THE POWER of FLIGHT to CHANGE LIVES: THE BOB HOOVER ACADEMY PROVIDES YOUTH WITH OPPORTUNITIES to PARTICIPATE IN CHALLENGING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS and ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON AVIATION and FLIGHT TRAINING, EMPOWERING THEM to COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL and PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION or VOCATIONAL TRAINING. THE ACADEMY INSPIRES AT-RISK and UNDERSERVED TEENS to ENGAGE IN STEAM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ARTS & MATHEMATICS) EDUCATION and to TAKE FLIGHT IN AVIATION. AVIATION is A METAPHOR for THE DEEPER MISSION, to CAPTURE STUDENTS MINDS, FOCUS THEIR ENERGY, and CULTIVATE SUCCESS IN SCHOOL and LIFE. EACH STUDENT EARNS ADMISSION INTO FLIGHT TRAINING BY EXCELLING IN OUR GROUND TRAINING CURRICULUM. THE ULTIMATE TRANSFORMATION is FLYING SOLO - LEAVING THE INSTRUCTOR BEHIND and TAKING CONTROL. STUDENTS BECOME ACCOUNTABLE to THEMSELVES and THEIR PEERS, DEVELOPING THE SKILLS and CONFIDENCE to LAUNCH FROM THEIR CURRENT ORBIT TOWARD A FUTURE AS DYNAMIC, CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS of SOCIETY.
