Advancing Inquiry and Meaning (AIM)

AIM Vision Statement

District 68 believes academically talented children are present across all cultural groups and economic strata.  These children possess advanced performance capabilities that translate into specific educational and social-emotional needs.  The Advancing Inquiry and Meaning (AIM) program is committed to providing flexible, rigorous, and differentiated learning experiences that enhance students’ intellectual curiosity. 

AIM programming emphasizes higher levels of questioning and fosters deeper critical and creative thinking. At the elementary, students receive instruction in literacy, math and interest-based content areas through dedicated AIM teachers in each building.  At the junior high, students receive instruction in literacy, social studies and science content areas.
