Why Junior Jets?
Junior Jets transforms classroom experiences by integrating the thrilling world of aviation
directly into your lessons.
Originally born in 2020, our initiative began with engaging videos and activities children could do from the comfort of their home. Fast-forward a few years, and we’re more evolved than ever: we’ve expanded our topics and meticulously aligned them with Alberta’s updated K-6 Curriculum. Designed by a former teacher, we recognize the essence of every teaching moment and assure top-tier, relevant, and engaging instruction for students.
