Our History

Our school opened its doors as International Air Academy in 1979. The founder, Arch Miller, was working as a dedicated and experienced professional in the airline industries when he chose to utilize his talents in a new way. Miller’s career began by attending a travel school where he gained enough experience to earn his first job as a ramp agent and later moved on to reservations. Miller worked his way up to staff vice president at Hughes Airwest, before opening his own training school in Vancouver, Washington.

In 2004, Mr. Miller expanded on the school’s success with the hospitality management (www.aha.edu) and culinary arts training programs.

Then with the increased need for renewable energy, and in turn, the need for qualified technicians, the Academy has expanded again with NW Renewable Energy Institute ( www.nw-rei.com).

All of our programs have one goal in mind… Provide the best possible training, which will then lead to a successful career.

  Tour of Italy -
  This year we've decided to get a little rustic and feed our soul. One little difference, were doing it the old way. Everything will be made from scratch and nothing packaged. Your child will have the opportunity to learn and build confidence while in a fun environment filled with new friends and food. We'll be making Pasta, Italian Sausage, Focaccia, Pizza, Desserts, Stromboli, Sauces, and much more from scratch just like Nonna used to make it!
