Aim High provides an excellent opportunity for professional development for new and experienced teachers. We encourage innovative curriculum and provide small class sizes. Courses include: Humanities, Science, Math, Issues & Choices, and a variety of co-curricular activities. The staff at each Aim High site consists of experienced master teachers as well as interns and teaching assistants. To foster a collaborative working environment, all faculty members are required to attend a week-long Faculty Institute in June the week before the students arrive and are provided support and coaching over the course of the summer.
We offer competitive salaries and the opportunity to learn and teach in a fun, motivated atmosphere with enthusiastic staff and students. In addition, Aim High offers teachers from public, private and parochial schools the chance to work alongside each other, learning from and teaching each other, while helping students engage with academic content and improve literacy and critical thinking skills.
