AIM Academy is an innovative, 1-12, independent, college-prep, day school serving bright children with learning differences. AIM is a diverse community that openly celebrates the unique gifts, talents, and strengths of all individuals. In this way, AIM develops an individualized program for every child by leveraging a variety of programs from the Arts, to Robotics, to Entrepreneurship, and the Humanities. AIM believes that while we work to support young people academically through research-based techniques, we also must tap into their interests and find those activities and areas where each individual can thrive.

AIM’s Middle School is a challenging, stimulating, cohesive community that encourages young adolescents to push themselves both in and out of the classroom and to connect their classroom experiences to the broader world. Academic offerings in the Middle School include everything from small-group reading intervention classes to sophisticated high-level courses in Math, Literature, and the Sciences. Offerings also include a wide array of electives in the Visual and Performing Arts, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship.

This position will afford an individual the opportunity to join an energetic, collaborative and innovative team that is focused on being a leader in the field of teaching middle school-aged children who learn differently and on disrupting a field that often leaves students like ours behind. The Middle School Head will be given wide-ranging responsibilities and be charged with the direction and supervision of the entire Middle School program. In close collaboration with the Head of School, Assistant Head of School, and other members of the Senior Leadership Team, the Middle School Head will provide input on hiring, evaluation, curriculum, budget, and enrollment. 

This opportunity will require a compassionate, effective, and inspirational leader who thinks strategically and tactically and who wants to continue to make a great school even better. The primary challenges for the Middle School Head will be to sustain enrollment in a highly-competitive market, continue to build the brand of a newer school, and to meet a community-wide expectation for staying ten steps ahead of the curve. The Middle School Head will ultimately be responsible for the individualized education of 130 students and the nurturing of their families along with the leadership of a team of about 30 faculty.
