We've been at aim high for years and have watched it grow. Very excited about the changes in structure and the decision to become a non profit. Aim High offers tuition assistance and flexible pricing and participates in many community activities.
Kids are very involved in the running of the school - it is a student led organization. I like the fact that it is a family environment.

I have been to three other schools with my family and myself... this school is crazy the way they far excel in so many areas. They are well rounded and supportive. They have concepts that id never think would come from a martial arts school. Their staff is great with kids ad easy going with adults. Highly recommend for many reasons.

over the past couple of months my life has thrown me more curve balls than I could've possibly imagined. The one thing that kept me sane was the comfort and support from Aim High and their amazing staff. When i walk in the door all of my worries and problems are paused. Aim High is the only place where i can think, work out, and train in what i love while being trained by the best of the best. The way they teach is very hands on and very positive. I have never once heard anything negative out of any one of the employee's at Aim High. I am truly thankful for everything they have given me and I look forward to the next time I walk in their doors. I LOVE AIM HIGH

The day I called Aim High, I was awestruck the day I called. They answered with a friendly, "How may I help you?" And from there on forth, walked in the door to be greeted professionally, and nicely. My first lesson was a blast. I chose a 2 year agreement the day of my first class, I was so impressed. I have made many long lasting relationships with the staff and students of the academy. I have obtained my green belt in my time here, and have only enjoyed my time here. Shout out to Cyrus, Sam, Danny, John, and Jeremy. These guys are eccentric, energized, spiritual, and a ton of fun. They all make classes fun, entertaining, enjoyable, but most of all, a learning experience.
Black Belts, are not easily obtained, and this is a good thing for this school. To obtain a black belt you must do community service, and 7 months of training. They really push you.
The school has many great programs, such as teaching students to be teachers, a leadership program, and other things.
If I could, I would rate this school 10/5 stars. It has just been an amazing experience, and have recommended this school to all my friends, and my family relatives. And now, I recommend this to you. You simply cannot pass up on this martial arts school, it's simply great, and in an easy to find location, 30 seconds from the Bethany Cornell exit on the highway.
What else can you ask for? Check out Aim High. You'll be glad you did.

These people have strong hearts and work the best they can to provide a great class. They helped out a couple people I know with tuition assistance where other schools turned them away, and because of which those kids have really had a positive experience from classes. I have been going to Aim High for a long time now and have lost a lot of weight and learned a lot of really great skills. I love their family classes and Kickboxing classes. Highly recommend for families!
I also roundup on my tuition which is a tax deduction! yuppie!!

Poorly Managed School

This school gives a bad impression from the moment you walk in the front door. The front desk area is crawling with studio kids, who do not answer the phone promptly or correctly, and are unable to assist a member in any meaningful way. Some of the schools teachers are quite good , but this is the exception. Unfortunately the school also allows black belt candidates to run classes - including children. These candidates may have an understanding of the material, but that doesn't mean they have the ability to teach it in a way that makes sense to others. Also, the class sizes are quite large for teenagers and adults - not unusual to have 40 or more students in a class with one teacher and possible a helper - often a kid. They do not give students individual attention or correction of their technique. It seems this school, although they claim to be nonprofit, is really devoted to getting as much money as possible from each student. Parents are required to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of equipment that is NEVER used. When I have complained about this, I have been told.."we'll be using that next month." Well next month never comes and we have been there for over a year. Needless to say, we are done with this school. I urge you to do your research when looking for a martial arts school, and I would definitely bypass this one.
Terrible school classes taught by children because they are to cheap to hire instructers
