About the provider

Aim High says it celebrates 40 years of summer learning. It uses restorative practices and upholds CORE values of Community, Opportunity, Respect, and High Expectations.

Students are expected to attend consecutive summers throughout middle school. If a child receives school-based support through an IEP or 504 plan, families are asked to share documents. Aim High is not equipped with a full SPED department at summer program locations and is unable to provide 1:1 full day support.
