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.
