Coming from Harrison
Students can switch tracks between terms, so a Harrison student who starts with flight can move to engineering without starting over.
Classes run 90 minutes: a short briefing, hands-on time at the bench or the simulator, then a debrief where every student explains what they did and what broke. Groups stay small enough for a coach to sit next to your child.

Course detailsWhere a Harrison student starts
Ages 6 to 8 from Harrison start in the Discovery Lab, where the simulator, indoor drones and first builds rotate week by week. From 8, students choose a track and stay on it for the term. From 13 the advanced courses add certification pathways, and from 14 the flight track prepares students for real flight training with partner schools.
Coaches work in aviation and engineering, the equipment stays in the workshop, and every student leaves the term with something real: a build, a tracked skill record and a clear next step. If you are unsure which course fits, book the trial class and we will place your child in the right group on the day.
