We pride ourselves on working with our students on a consistent, individualized basis so that each child may work to reach his or her full potential. We believe that children learn to succeed by experiencing success.
AIE offers curriculum for children of varied abilities.
Gifted and average children, with or without learning difficulties or emotional problems, all work toward the common goal of attaining knowledge and succeeding in the classroom. Various mixes of students are placed in classes together so they may learn from and teach one another through their shared experiences. By applying this approach to learning and keeping opportunity for comparisons limited, students often find personal achievement and work ethic their major focus. As a result, students learn academics as well as valuable life lessons such as patience, understanding, compassion and self-respect. Because of their deep compassion for children and their strong, independent educational philosophy, in 1984 John and Teresa Savage developed a program of education for their five children.
