1. At what age can my child apply to AIM?
Our youngest students enter AIM in Pre-Nursery1 at the age of two - or almost 2-years-old in the current academic calendar year. For example, if your child will be 2 years old in December, they can enter AIM in August at the age of 1 year and 7 months.
2. What are the Exploratory, Development, Middle and High School divisions?
AIM offers an exceptional education to students aged 1 to 18. The stages used to describe the years of schooling are: Exploratory pertains to the five years of schooling before First Grade: Pre-nursery1, Pre-nursery2, Nursery, English I and English II. The Development stage refers to grades 1 to 5, Middle School refers to grades 6 to 8, and High School refers to grades 9 to12.
3. What happens when students educated in another part of the world transfer to AIM?
We evaluate all prospective students to ensure they are working towards the grade above their current level. This is to ensure the education at their current school is in-line with AIM standards. The results of this initial evaluation will inform where the student is placed.
4. How many monthly tuition fees are paid in a school year?
Monthly tuition fees are paid from September to June, equalling ten payments in total. School fees are due on the 10th of every month.
5. What are the school hours?
We observe standard school hours, and offer an Extended Day for students as an additional option. Extracurricular activities and Electives for students in Grade 6 to Grade 12, are available after school hours. Please contact the Admissions team for further information on Extended Day hours.
