GRAND RAPIDS -- Dick DeVos says he's merging his two passions -- flying and education -- for an aviation-themed charter high school to open on Gerald R. Ford International Airport property this fall.

"If you're the kind of person who can't help but look up when you hear a plane overhead, then you're exactly the kind of person who will love this school," said DeVos, the son of the Amway co-founder and philanthropist Rich DeVos.

The West Michigan Aviation Academy is planned to open this fall with 60 freshmen, with a goal of adding a grade each year. Former East Grand Rapids High Principal Patrick Cwayna will be at the helm.

Cwayna said the school will have lessons based around themes of flying and maintaining planes, as well as running an aviation business. While there are four aviation-themed high schools in the country -- including one in Detroit -- DeVos' project, announced Thursday, is believed to be the first charter school.
