[quote=Anonymous]It is my understanding that AIM and HIGH (Historical Inquiry into Humanities) cover the same grade level standards as the "regular" courses (IM and Humanities) however, the students are grouped in a cohort of strong, high achieving students and the curriculum is more enriched. It's not an accelerated pathway that covers more than one year, just more challenging using above grade level resources. I like it, seems like a way to challenge kids without creating a "tack" putting them in a new path or course at the end of the year. If it's an ares a student wants to continue to pursue at a higher level, hopefully there will be an opportunity in HS, but for MS it offers challenge that's developmentally appropriate and not forcing all classes to be advanced moving forward.
