AIM HIGH is a certified Nonpublic, Non-Sectarian School (NPS)
The AIM HIGH program of Mt. Helix Academy is fully certified by the California State Department of Education to serve students with special needs on contract with local school districts. The 210-day AIM HIGH program is appropriate for elementary and middle school students who have learning disabilities and/or social interaction difficulties, possibly associated with ADD/ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, or another underlying problem in the mild/moderate range.

AIM HIGH is not for students with significant behavior problems
Students with severe behavior problems are not able to be served in the AIM HIGH program. Please consider COOK Education Center for students who require a Behavior Intervention Plan or Behavior Support Plan for behavior that is aggressive or results in significant property destruction.

DIS through consultation only
AIM HIGH DIS include speech/language therapy, occupational therapy, and behavior intervention planning and implementation; however, all of these services are delivered on a consulting basis only. Consequently, students who have significant speech/language, sensory-motor, or behavior intervention needs and, therefore, require therapy to be delivered by the relevant professional, cannot be served by the AIM HIGH program. Students with significant DIS needs and/or significant behavior challenges can be served at TIEE’s Cook Education Center.
