Honestly, as a student, this school becomes incrementally less frightening. When I came here in 6th grade I was scared, but now it is much easier and even more relaxed. Homework is still tough, though, and I usually have 1-2 hours of work per night.
I recommend this school for hardworking and determined people, who welcome challenges, especially when those challenges pay off later in life. Close Quote

Having moved across the country to Albuquerque from a phenomenal school for the gifted, I was grateful to find AIMS. At first I worried about uniforms, the non-traditional school schedule, and that he would be missing out on a few public school programs we had come to depend on (orchestra, driver's ed, swim team).
Enrolling him at AIMS has been worth it. My son has thrived here. He is challenged. He is supported. Parent/teacher communication is stellar. I have never seen my son (gifted and a "dreamer") turn in so much high quality work on time. He tells me about studying with friends during lunch breaks and "House" time. He tells me about chess, and robotics, and karate. He is happy when he arrives at school, and has plenty to tell me at pick-up.
The closest school I have personal experience with on this level of excellence is BASIS in Tucson - where my older son was fortunate to attend during his middle school years. Grateful for visionary schools. Close Quote
