Worth the drive from Conway
A complete path under one roof — Private through CFII — so the drive is something you do once, not every time you outgrow a school.
Seven days a week means you can stack a Saturday lesson with a weekday evening rather than losing a week to a scheduling clash.
Simulator sessions cover the instrument and emergency work at a fraction of aircraft cost, so fewer of your trips are spent burning fuel on things a sim does better.
