Why AIM?

Because AIM employs a two-pronged approach: providing students with the skills and strategies needed to overcome the challenges associated with their learning differences and at the same time identifying and developing their strengths and talents so that each child envisions a successful pathway to college and beyond.

Because AIM is the largest school for students with language-based learning differences in the Delaware Valley. We are the only area school that is licensed as a Wilson® Accredited Partner, has received the designation as an exemplar school by The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), the leading organization advocating for 21st century learning for every student and is the first education partner in an international neuroscience research innovation hub organized by Haskins Laboratories at Yale and the University of Connecticut dedicated to literacy and learning.

Because AIM hires teachers who are specifically trained in their area of expertise and then provides more than 1500 hours of training annually to ensure that all of our teachers remain current on the latest research and proven techniques in the field of language-based learning differences.

Because 20 of our staff members have completed comprehensive AIM Pathways training and are Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialists having passed the KPEERI certification exam administered by The Center for Effective Reading Instruction.

Because we are the only school in the area to have a nationally and internationally known Research Advisory Board that shares its research findings and reviews the evidence-informed educational practices of AIM’s academic program.

Because AIM's state-of-the-art facilities and innovative and integrated use of technology is designed to enhance the learning environment for all AIM students from online courses to robotics labs to our new broadcast studio for video streaming.

Because over 20,000 educators and professionals in the field of literacy and special education have participated in comprehensive literacy training from AIM Institute for Learning and Research®. AIM partners with schools, districts and state departments of education in more than 30 states to provide literacy training based on the instructional model we know works best for our AIM Academy students.

Because we make learning fun!
