Our Mission: Educate | Aviate | Graduate

Serving the DFW Metroplex

At Rising Aviation High School, we know how important it is to choose the right school for your teen. That’s why we offer a one-of-a-kind educational experience that combines a challenging STEM curriculum with career-focused training in the aviation and aerospace technologies. 

Our safe and secure private school setting provides a solid foundation for your teen’s academic and vocational future. Whether they aspire to work in aviation or pursue other industries, this educational experience will set them up for long term success. 

Unlike traditional schools, we take a far more personalized approach to education. Our classes are self-paced and success is based on content mastery, not seat time. In fact, our students typically find they are able to accelerate their studies and apply more time to their aviation pursuits. 

Whether your teen requires an accelerated education schedule, credit recovery, or simply desires an immersive learning experience, we are committed to their success in aviation and in life.

Rising Aviation (RAHS) has been such a blessing for our student as he has found his community of like-minded peers and educators. Our son has been able to gain firsthand practical knowledge and experiences that have brought his dream of being a pilot to fruition.

RAHS has fostered industry relationships as well as leadership opportunities at school and in the community. All of this has afforded the opportunity to develop as a leader in the community and within the school. In addition, he has excelled academically with the support of administration and staff at RAHS. Lifetime friendships have been made here!

The Dallas STEM School with a Focus on Aviation Excellence

Dallas’s Best High School for Future Aviators

At Rising Aviation High School, a Dallas STEM school, we provide an affordable, safe, and secure learning environment for families in the DFW Metroplex. Our innovative educational program builds on the foundations of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), which are emphasized in many modern academic institutions. 

However, we take STEM education to the next level by coupling it with aviation and aerospace technology studies, practical aviation applications, and a focus on content mastery rather than just seat time. 

With over 20 years of alternative educational expertise, we’ve developed a unique blended learning model we call STEAM — Science, Technology, Engineering, Aviation, and Math. Our approach actively prepares students for success in aviation and beyond.

Eligibility: Any student in grade 9 through grade 12.

Discover a Unique Learning Environment

Blended Learning

Replacing outmoded and obsolete educational models, students can work virtually but as a matter of practice will attend school at our Flight Center.

Schedule Flexibility

Our hybrid educational model and the fact that the high school operates 11 months out of the year (closing only in July) allows for tremendous schedule flexibility and opportunity for students. 

Individual & Small Group Instruction

Given the small class sizes of our private school, our teachers focus on each individual student’s needs and tailor lesson plans to each student.

Self-Paced

The Rising Aviation education program encourages students to advance based on subject mastery rather than standard time-oriented assessments. Students move ahead at their own pace according to prescribed criteria.
