School Tour Video
At Farnsworth, "The Home of Future Leaders," aerospace is infused in every aspect of our curriculum.
 
Our dedicated staff encourage experimentation and engage imagination. Students work on teams to solve complex problems, and each success builds confidence for the next challenge.
 
We see magic happen every time a student gets into a flight simulator for the first time or has that “a-ha” moment in LEGO robotics. Solving problems is a lot of fun if you have the right skillset.
 
Field trips and guest speakers ranging from engineers to astronauts expose our students to the wide range of disciplines and possibilities that aerospace offers.
 

We offer:

  • Flipside
  • Extended Day for Learning (EDL)
  • AVID
  • TRIO
  • Lego League
  • Where Everybody Belongs (WEB)
