Description

Aim High has been providing a no-cost, 5-week summer learning program for middle school students all over the Bay Area with our largest student populations being in SF and Oakland, for 35 summers.

Aim High creates life-changing opportunities during the summer and beyond. Our community:

  • Nurtures the promise and potential of middle school students from low-income neighborhoods

Aim High is committed to closing the opportunity and achievement gaps in Northern California through our transformative summer learning program. We envision every middle school student having access to joyful summer learning, inspired and innovative teachers, and the support they need to succeed in school and life.
