Car,

His school would be a high school focusing on aviation classes.  Actually, 
I've seen how one charter school in my city gives a better education than 
the public school.  However, the teachers don't always like it because they 
are required to have longer days, get there a certain time prior to the 
students, and stay after students go home. The public school spends so much 
time with discipline, and the charter I know about the children are taught 
they cannot do anything that will make it harder for someone else to learn 
and they are taught self regulation.

Best,

Sandy
