Academic Excellence In Key Urban Zip Codes

About The MIMS Institute
The purpose of The MIMS Institute is to: Motivate Individual Minority Students
to prepare for and apply to America’s top universities. The MIMS Institute serves as a champion of
public education and promotes academic excellence in urban zip codes by:
- Maintaining a routine presence from the black community at School Board meetings
- Hosting fellowships for students and parents
- Fishing for potential black and Hispanic applicants to America’s top national universities
- Encouraging black and Hispanic students with strong reading skills to graduate with multiple
(6 or more) college-level, Advanced Placement classes
- Gathering achievement data and reshaping it to reflect participation rates of students in
targeted key urban Zip Codes
Our vision is that our parents and students will live in a zip code where leaders routinely discuss
indicators of academic excellence regarding minority students.
