I was also curious about why that AFA place does 30 hours of ground instruction at $55/hr. I was under the impression that most of this can be covered at home, but maybe since they are part 141 it's a part of the curriculum. Nevermind, I took a look at that AFI Fullerton and they also charge for about the same hours of ground school, I guess it's Part 141 thing since I've read that they have training programs which are more structured. Anyways, best of luck on your search!!
