Did You Know?

According to the Tulsa County Health Profile released in 2010,

the zip codes served by Aim High Academy had

the highest % of mothers with less than a 12th grade education.

 

Participation in sports has the power to change a girl’s life.

Research shows that young women who participate in sports

have higher grades and perform better on standardized tests than non-athletes.

 and African-American female athletes are 15% more likely to graduate from college

 compared to their non-athletic peers.

Also, high school girls who participate in sports wait longer before having sex

for the first time than their peers who don’t participate in sports.

 

Aim High Academy, a 501(c)(3), was founded in 2006 with classes beginning in 2007 at the John 3:16 Family and Youth Center. In just 7 years…

·         We have grown to serve over 250 precious children each week in a 20,000 square foot facility.

·         We have a team of 29 gymnasts representing North Tulsa in Statewide competitions, 2 of which became State Champions this year and are headed to the Regional Championships in Galveston on April 24^th.

·         We have a volunteer based tutoring program providing homework help to all Aim High families on Monday and Thursday evenings.

·         We now offer dance classes (ballet and hip-hop) to the community.

·         Beginning mid-April we will offer fitness classes (Zumba and African Dance) for parents while they wait on their kids.

·         We have an exhibition team who has performed twice at OKC Thunder games and performs every year at the opening game for the Tulsa Shock and participates in the MLK Jr. Parade.

Most importantly, we teach all of our kids

that God made each of them special

with a purpose and a plan for each of their lives.
