About the Program
ALA’s Aviator Academy will offer three different learning models for the 2025-2026 school year. These learning opportunities are as follows:
Grades 6-8 Blended-Ed Hybrid Learning:
​​Students in a hybrid learning model will be split up into 2 cohorts per grade level of 15 students. Students will come to campus two days per week from 8:10 AM to 3:10 PM for a full day of in person instruction.
Students will follow a schedule to attend in-person classes for English, Social Studies, Science, Math, and a rotating quarterly elective.
During the remaining three days in the week, students will work asynchronously at-home from their computer following teacher-made lessons posted to the school’s LMS of choice,
​
Students who will benefit from this learning environment:
-
part-time student-athletes training on a rigid schedule
-
students who may need to attend frequent medical appointments
-
Students who work well independently but would like the benefits of in-person instruction periodically.

Grades 6-8

Two days a week students working remotely will login to a Google Meet session to attend a live virtual class for each of their core subject areas (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies).

High school remote learning students are required to meet with an Aviator Academy High School advisor at least one day per week (Fridays) for a minimum of 30 minutes either virtually or in-person for a weekly progress check in. Students will be able to receive live chat tutoring support for their coursework as needed on a 24/7 basis through the use of “Varsity Tutors”.
