At what age can my child apply to AIM?



Our youngest students are entering AIM to PRENURSERY at the age of three or almost 3 years old that
calendar year. For example if your child will be 3 years old in December, he/she can enter the school in the
previous August at the age of 2 years 7 months.

What do Exploratory, Development and Specialization mean?



Exploratory are the four years of schooling we have before entering First Grade. These four years are:
Prenursery, Nursery, English I and English II.

Development is divided into Lower and Upper level which is basically our Elementary. Lower level includes
1st, 2nd and 3rd grades and Upper Development includes 4th, 5th and 6th grades.

Specialization includes our 7th, 8th and 9th grades.

What happens when students are coming from another school program from
other parts of the world that handle different education systems?



We test students for the next grade they would be studying at the actual school with our AIM standards. The
exam will let us know what grade the student can be accepted in.
