At Farnsworth – “The Home of Future Leaders” – aerospace is infused in every aspect of our curriculum. Our dedicated staff encourages experimentation and engages imagination. Our students work on teams to solve complex problems, and each success builds confidence for the next challenge. We are a dual-campus school serving students in grades PreK-8. Our Lower Campus (grades PreK-4) is located at 1290 Arcade Street. Learn more...
Together with community and families, we will prepare each child for social and academic success in the 21st Century by cultivating curiosity, critical thinking and collaboration in literacy and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Aerospace, Math).
Our program engages a child’s imagination with the exciting endeavor of human flight. Students learn to value teamwork when solving complex problems. They experiment, present their ideas, gain confidence and become leaders.
Students at Farnsworth Aerospace have high expectations for each other. With our state-of-the-art flight simulators, those expectations feel real. At 2,000 feet, there are no excuses, their team is depending on them. In 2021, our flight sim labs was fully updated with virtual reality film simulator systems.
Each fall, Farnsworth sixth-graders are eligible for one of our most exciting field trips. A trip that will challenge them physically and mentally. An experience that will expose them to a host of engineering and aerospace technology careers.
