Those are the honest industry ranges, not this school’s rate card — this school does not publish one, and almost none do. Ring us and we will get you their actual number, at their price, with nothing added for coming through us.
Opening hours are the ones on their Google listing, checked July 2026. Ring before you drive — a small school’s office hours and its flying hours are rarely the same thing.
Where this page comes from
Everything above is assembled from 4 pages of their own website, read in July 2026, and their public Google Maps listing.

When we do call a school it gets a ✓ and a summary written by a person — you can see what that looks like on the Arizona pages.
