The EAA Charter School was conceived in the 2000 / 2001 school year under the leadership of Dr. Lee Siudzinski, Vice President of EAA Education. The fundamental goals of the EAA Charter School have been to improve student learning and motivate students’ interest in the areas of Science, Math and Technology.  EAA Charter School students demonstrated increased academic performance over non-charter peers, documented through a research study conducted by Dr. John Witte from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. 

In 2005 and 2006 the EAA Charter School was awarded Dissemination Grants to replicate the aviation education program. Over 350 teachers were trained to implement the resulting curriculum.  Our Dissemination Grant period ended December 31, 2006. We are looking for schools, organizations or foundations to fund adoption of the aviation curriculum and teacher training program.
