Learn More about OAA

The Oklahoma Aviation Academy is part of Norman Public Schools (NPS) and is a STEAM-focused, comprehensive program with an emphasis on aviation and aerospace. 

Students have opportunities for hands-on career and industry experiences that transforms the traditional education environment to authentically connect student learning to high-tech industry readiness.

Already a national leader in the industry, Oklahoma has a critical demand for highly skilled and trained workforce, yet ranks near the bottom nationally in terms of STEAM education. Working with the University of Oklahoma, Moore Norman Technology Center and industry partners from both the public and private sectors, NPS capitalized on Norman’s geographic location and rich history in flight to create a program for high school students.

The Oklahoma Aviation Academy provides industry-connected education pathways for students to connect directly with higher education, career tech, and industry partners, ensuring career readiness in the high-demand areas of aviation and aerospace.

NPS is proud to partner with so many leading institutions to help grow Oklahoma’s already robust aviation and aerospace economy and work toward cementing its place as a premier destination for industry leaders.

Vision
To establish a transformational academy blending cutting edge STEAM experiences, innovative industry connections and world-class academics against a backdrop of aviation and aerospace. Additionally, we will guide students and ourselves in the development of a culture of excellence that promotes the intellectual, moral, civic and performance virtues. This will occur through the exposure to learning experiences designed to foster deep thinking and cultivate the critical skills needed to thrive in the 21st century. As students are empowered to take control of their personal journey toward a life of meaning and purpose, they will push toward the furthest boundaries of their potential.
