AL Systems Technology is one of the main foundations of our educational model. Students use it to complete projects that demonstrate their learning, as well as to connect with peers from around the world in a digitally informed environment. Our innovative educational model fosters the use of technology for the creation of products and services, rather than utilizing it solely to consume information. Our curriculum equips students for their current and future digital lives. The technology course content develops their ability to use digital tools wisely and effectively as they employ higher-order thinking skills to implement solutions when faced with specific challenges. These skills encourage critical examination and an understanding of the ethical and social issues related to global awareness of the use of information and communications technology. |

| Teaching approach of the school |
AIM's educational philosophy is rooted in the principles of our unique i-PAL Systems® (Innovative, Personalized Attention, and Learning), implemented across our three campuses, from preschool to high school. This teaching-learning model was developed exclusively by AIM and places the students at the center of all educational activity, seeking to maximize their potential globally. Under the i-PAL Systems, each student can explore, develop, and nurture their skills in academics, creative and performing arts, and sports during the school day whilst developing a multicultural mindset and focusing on technology and well-being. The resounding success of our students stands as a testament to the effectiveness of our i-PAL Systems' philosophy, which fosters a culture of comprehensive excellence where learners are inspired to excel in academics, arts, technology, leadership, sports, and entrepreneurship through outstanding programs. After our successful implementation, our i-PALs philosophy has been applied in more than 50 public schools in Mexico to enhance educational programs. |
