This summer #AimHigh sent students a supply kit full of materials for our summer program. Ayva is attending Aim High for a second summer yay! Watch as she shares what’s in her supply box. Aim High can’t wait to welcome our students next week! #summer #bayarea #middlschool

It’s such an exciting time and we know all our alumni will do great things in high school and beyond! Enjoy these photos from the St. Elizabeth School and Saint Raphael School's Commencement Ceremonies. Congrats Grads!

We are thrilled to see all of our 8th Grade BASIC Fund grads take the next step in their educational journey!

Over the weekend, a few central office staff went to Fang Community Farm to meet with Faheem Carter, an AH grad who oversees a new plot of land through the Bayview Black Farmers Program. To learn more about the program visit ffcommunityfarm.org/black-organic-… #aimhigh

Thanks again to @BADM_org for prioritizing STEM programming while socially distant! If you see the Try It Truck on the freeway, give them a wave!

Available to Pre-K -5th Grade, students try new ideas and build creative problem-solving skills by engaging with BADM's engineering design process - THINK, MAKE, TRY. They ask questions, design solutions, and iterate on their choices.

The Try It Truck is BADM's engineering lab on wheels and together we partnered to bring it to schools across the Bay Area!

Have you all heard of @BADM_org's Try-It-Truck? We got to see it in action at Walnut Creek Christian Academy and Golden Hills Christian School in Brentwood, Ca

Evelyn Rosa is immensely grateful for the surrounding community and parish for continuing to support the mission and goals of St. Elizabeth Seton School.

"For this school to be open for these children in this neighborhood is nothing short of a miracle." Take a look at some of these photos from our recent visit to St. Elizabeth Seton School.

Aim High is celebrating #WomensMonth by highlighting Yuri Kochiyama, an American civil rights activist. "The movement is contagious, and the people in it are the ones who pass on the spirit.” -Yuri Kochiyam Photo credit: Google Doodles #CivilRightsActivist #StopAsianHate

Loosening the classroom structure and allowing students more power over their work can activate their curiosity. “They start to crack open when they feel like they’re in charge.” @LindaFlanagan2 kqed.org/mindshift/5042…

Lynne Mullen, the principal, gave us some updates on how their teachers and families stepped up. "It's been amazing to see how remarkably they've adapted and how remarkably the kids have responded." -Lynne Mullen

Saint Elizabeth Elementary School (@stlizoakland), part of the Lumen Christi Academies (@lcacademies) network, is a staple of the Fruitvale District in Oakland. There are so many people who have been touched by the work that they do!

Kids learn #empathy thru repetition-helping siblings, raking for elderly neighbor, collecting blankets to give to shelter. Find ongoing ways to inspire kids to practice helpfulness & caring with the same gusto that we have for their academics &sports. #Thrivers

Anybody else ever fall in love with a book that *gasp* their teacher assigned and made them read?
