I heard from my relatives in the U.S. that this is a military school that accepts girls, and they even offer flight training, which sounds pretty attractive to me.

It seems like they have partnership programs with many schools in China.

Tuition is $31,210. Located in Florida, the nearest airport is over 300 kilometers away. TOEFL score requirement is 60-70. What makes Admiral Farragut unique is its aviation program; many graduates go on to attend military academies or join the ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps). If I remember correctly, all Farragut students are required to study seamanship.
