Admissions Process
Admission to AIMS is determined by lottery selection. If you would like your son or daughter to be considered for enrollment, please go to our Lottery page:
The admissions process starts with the Lottery Application. Here your students' name and contact information will be entered along with the parents' or guardians'. This information will be used to contact all successfully drawn students.
Families will be notified by email if your student is drawn in the lottery.
After being drawn in the Lottery (and only after being notified), you are then invited to fill out the Enrollment package. To accomplish this, log back into the lottery site using the same credentials as before, click on the lottery applicant and you will see the enrollment data to be filled out. Do not complete another lottery application, this will not secure your enrollment. Only filling out the enrollment forms by the deadline will secure a spot at AIMS. This enrollment package will include pertinent health information, and allow for upload of certain files. These files can also be delivered to the school in person.
Paper applications for the Lottery and Enrollment will no longer be available for download, however we do supply access to the online portal at the physical school location.
