ELEMENTARY ADMISSIONS
Unique Application Process
AIM Elementary takes a unique approach to its application process by conducting multiple assessments. This approach allows us to meet each child where they are developmentally. We recognize that not all children are "elementary-ready" in January, which is when assessments typically take place in most schools. Instead, we consider the remaining seven months between January and August, assessing each child's potential progress based on their development observed between two assessment periods—one in early December and the other in late January.
For this reason, the submission of the interest form, which is the crucial first step in the application process, is due by mid-November. The interest form submitted after this deadline cannot be accepted.
Requirement of Montessori Learning and Target Language Fluency
As AIM Elementary follows the Montessori curriculum, where students build upon the foundation established in the Children's House program, applicants are required to have attended a Montessori program, ideally completing the full 3-year cycle from ages 3 to 6.
​
Additionally, 80% of the instruction in the AIM Elementary program is conducted in the target language. Therefore, fluency in the target language (Mandarin or Japanese) is essential.
