PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE APPLICATION:

Aim High St. Louis is an academic and enrichment program that provides middle-schoolers with opportunities to experience field trips and other activities, have some summer fun, make new friends, and enhance skills in math, science, and humanities. Aim High is a program that includes a five-week Summer Session and monthly Saturday Sessions occurring throughout the school year. Aim High is not a "camp". It is a minimum three-year commitment that includes both Summer Sessions and Saturday Sessions. Our primary focus is academics, and Achievers spend significant time in the classroom every day. Achievers also spend time swimming, playing outside, and learning new skills in fun elective classes.
