Reach Higher

Evangelical Christian School is proud to offer the Aviation Pre-Professional Program, giving high school students access to exceptional aviation training rarely found at the secondary level.

Through a partnership with Paragon Flight, Florida’s premier FAA-approved flight training facility, students receive daily instruction from certified flight instructors. The program includes both comprehensive ground school and flight preparation, allowing students to explore aviation as a potential career path.

In addition to hands-on training, students fulfill all academic requirements for college admission and may also earn college credit, making this a truly unique and forward-focused opportunity.

At ECS, we’re helping students reach higher—both academically and literally.
