American Institute of Monterrey - Huasteca

AIM's curriculum is US-accredited by NEASC. High School students graduate with either the Mexican Bachillerato General diploma or a dual Mexican and US High School Diploma. From Grade 10 they can choose Regular, Honors or Advanced Placement (AP) level courses, and the APS (Authentic Products & Services) model organises project work in four academies, ending in a Grade 12 capstone project. Students sit NWEA MAP Growth tests up to Grade 12 and can take SAT preparation as an elective. The International Program offers pre-university summer programmes in the US, study abroad and exchanges through Inspired. The campus does not offer IB or Cambridge programmes.

AIM's motto is "To serve with excellence". Its stated mission is to develop a global community of lifelong learners who aim for excellence and work towards a better world, valuing all ethnicities, cultures and beliefs. The school's own i-PAL Systems philosophy (Innovative, Personalized Attention and Learning) places the student at the centre, with focus areas in academics, sports, fine arts, multiculturalism, technology and wellness.
