Aim High

Personalized Learning Support for Student Success

At Mt. Helix Academy, we believe every student can thrive when provided with the right support, instruction, and encouragement. Aim High offers individualized academic and learning support for students who benefit from additional instruction, executive functioning support, or specialized learning strategies during the school day.

Support may be provided in specific subject areas or through a more comprehensive program, depending on a student’s individual needs and educational goals.

One of the unique strengths of Aim High is its ability to provide students with opportunities to participate in Mt. Helix Academy’s general education program. Aim High teachers work closely with classroom teachers, specialists, and families to ensure students receive coordinated support throughout the school day and across educational settings.

Our mission is to help students build confidence, develop essential academic and learner skills, and achieve success both in and out of the classroom.
