Upper School Scholars

The AIM Upper School Scholars program is designed to encourage students who want to become more aware of and engaged with their communities and the world around them. Scholars go above and beyond what is typically required on an AIM transcript as they pursue specific goals, course, and projects that immerse them in issues of interest. The Scholars program is open to any AIM Upper School student in good academic standing who is able and willing to commit to completing all program requirements. Students who complete the required coursework will receive a distinction on their transcript and a cord to wear at graduation.
