Among the Lewis Center's most significant programs is the Academy for Academic Excellence (AAE), a K-12 charter school in which new teaching techniques and strategies are tested and refined in a standards-based educational program; and the Norton Space and Aeronautics Academy (NSAA), currently a K-8 charter school and is a Dual Immersion Program School which supports our charter educational goals.

Global Programs include the Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) project with NASA, JPL/Caltech in which teachers nationwide access a 34-meter radio antenna via the Internet.

The Lewis Center is governed by the Board of Directors of the High Desert "Partnership in Academic Excellence" Foundation, Inc., a non-profit corporation.
