I am delighted that you are interested in AIM~Academy In Manayunk, in conjunction with The Lab School of Washington®.  Our admission process is designed to allow prospective parents, who are advocates for their children, to equip themselves with information regarding our school, our curriculum and the learning profiles of the students for whom we serve.   In turn, we hope to learn as much as we can about your child's learning profile with regards to his/her strengths and areas of needs.

It has been my pleasure to navigate families through the admissions process since our inception.  From our initial twenty-four pioneer students in the 06-07 school year to our current 142 students for the 10-11 school year, it has been a joy to watch these new students enter AIM's doorways and flourish under the direction and guidance of our highly-trained educators.  With this in mind, we encourage bright, motivated students with average to above average cognitive abilities, who have been diagnosed with a language based learning disabilities/differences, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia to apply to our college preparatory school.  We are looking for students who are ready to immerse themselves in all aspects of our school life, both in academics and in our enriched extracurricular programs.

Need-based financial aid is available.  If you are interested in AIM and feel that your child is a good match for the School's academic and student life programs, you should apply for admission, regardless of your ability to pay full tuition.

We encourage you to register for one of our monthly Open Houses to learn more about our program.  Please do not hesitate to call the Admission's Office, if you have any questions about the admission or financial aid process. I look forward to getting to know you and your child and welcoming you to AIM.

Warmest regards,
Nancy Blair
Associate Director, Director of Admissions
