Aim High is unique in that we view every scholar as an expert learner whose needs can be met through multiple means/opportunities of representation, engagement, and expression. Aim High ensures the success and inclusion of all scholars by employing the concepts of Universal Design for Learning and Differentiated Instruction through creativity and inquiry. All our scholars are provided with equal opportunities to learn through the visual arts. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs. At Aim High, Excellence and Equity leads to Efficacy and Empowerment. Having high expectations for our scholars  leads them to reaching their greatest potential everyday.
