  AimHigher Recordings is an American record label. Formerly an independent label, since 2021 it has been a subsidiary of Sophia Institute Press.
  
  ## History
  
  AimHigher Recordings was founded in 2012 by Monica and Kevin Fitzgibbons as a counterpart to its sister label, De Montfort Music. Whereas De Montfort has released primarily recordings of Roman Catholic choral music, AimHigher's catalog covers a more eclectic repertoire, featuring music for choir, big band, and organ. Artists recorded by AimHigher include the Boys of St. Paul's Choir School, the NOLA Players, and the London Oratory School Schola Cantorum.
  
  Universal Music Group distributed AimHigher's recordings on its Decca and Verve labels through 2016. In January 2017, AimHigher announced it had signed a new worldwide distribution deal with Sony Masterworks.
  
  On March 24, 2017, AimHigher and De Montfort announced they had signed a deal with St. John Cantius Church of Chicago to acquire its catalog of self-published recordings and re-release them worldwide.
  
  AimHigher Recordings was acquired by Sophia Institute Press in 2021, along with De Montfort Music, and will release all future albums via its parent's Sophia Music division.
