We see ourselves as lifelong learners and will role model the same passion for learning that we will desire from our students.

We believe in supporting students to become independent life-long learners that take ownership in their education. We aim to create a classroom environment that is student centered and promote inquiry. When students enter the classroom they will feel safe, curious, and apart of a community of other learners. As teachers we strive to make learning fun, authentic, and hands-on. We believe in differentiated learning and promoting multiple intelligence to help all students reach their full potential.

After School Classes For Children

Rich and Judy really did make our little princess’s school life a whole heck of a lot easier. Her grades improved, as did her attitude toward class and her teachers. She absolutely adores attending classes at AimBrightStars; and as a single dad, I couldn’t wish for anything more.
