Teenage Pilots Earn School Credits at Laconia Airport

A new partnership between public education and the Laconia Municipal Airport aims to bring aviation careers within reach for local students.

The partnership begins this spring at Laconia Flight Academy, a sub-brand of SkyBright Aviation, one of the fixed-base operators at Laconia airport, and it allows students to earn credits toward their high school diplomas while beginning their training to become certified pilots.

The development is possible through the Department of Education’s ‘Learn Everywhere’ initiative, which enables students to apply for credits for learning that happens outside of conventional high school settings.
