A Sky-High Investment in STEM: Boys Academic Leadership Academy’s Commitment to Excellence

In the heart of Los Angeles, the Boys Academic Leadership Academy is taking bold and innovative steps to elevate STEM education for young men. As the proud recipients of 15 STEMPILOT Edustation Pro flight simulators, the Boys Academic Leadership Academy is soaring into a future rich with opportunity—opening new doors in aviation, engineering, and leadership.

This significant investment by the Boys Academic Leadership Academy reflects a clear and powerful mission: to inspire academic excellence through hands-on learning and real-world application. And now, they are breaking new ground as one of the first schools to implement STEMPILOT’s new After School Flight Curriculum.

In making this leap forward, the Boys Academic Leadership Academy also took full advantage of STEMPILOT’s classroom packages, designed to equip schools with multiple simulators at a reduced cost. Schools like BALA benefit from these discounted bundles that include flight simulators and full curriculum support—making it easier to scale STEM instruction.

STEMPILOT’s After School Curriculum: Designed for Engagement and Efficiency at Boys Academic Leadership Academy

To meet the needs of busy students and packed academic schedules, STEMPILOT has introduced a condensed version of its aviation curriculum, tailored specifically for after-school learning. The Boys Academic Leadership Academy is leading the charge as the flagship pilot site for this exciting new program.

The program runs for 7–8 weeks, offering two-hour sessions twice a week, structured for maximum impact:

  • 1 hour of engaging aviation instruction
  • 1 hour of immersive simulator-based flight training

The curriculum is designed to help after-school educators spark student interest quickly and efficiently. By minimizing setup time and getting students flying fast, the Boys Academic Leadership Academy ensures learners stay excited, curious, and involved in hands-on STEM experiences. Whether mastering flight paths or exploring the science of aerodynamics, BALA students will see real-world STEM principles take flight.
