Our Issues & Choices class provides a tremendous opportunity for students to explore their identity in conscious ways while lifting voices, sharing stories and values rooted in identity and pride.
Sense of Belonging
Students feel seen and heard and see themselves as valued members of a community.
Develop Self-Awareness
Students learn tools to set boundaries
Relationship Building
Students learn tools for making healthy choices and develop SEL.
Issues & Choices is an age appropriate class that creates space for Aim High students to explore options for their futures, themselves as individuals, as well as valued members of our community. These outcomes are achieved through Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons, using restorative practices, and discussions in community circles with peers. Students engage in activities such as creating a soundtrack of their life, community circles, poems and much more.
Community
Students build a community of trust amongst their class and teachers.
Restorative

Wellness and Self-care
