 AIMS serves a diverse student body. We specifically target students with a serious interest in science, math, and technology and groups typically underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering, including young women, students of color, students from low-income households, and students who would be first-generation college graduates.
At AIMS students experience the values of civic duty, fortitude, and responsibility on a daily basis. Through both school-sponsored and teacher-generated initiatives, we provide a wide range of community and extracurricular activities, including service learning, social and informational events, academic and social clubs, and student government. All programs promote our belief that students take ownership of their overall education, their school, and their community as a means of enriching their own lives and those of others. Our programs strive to promote leadership development, civic involvement, and a lifelong love of learning.

2009-10 STUDENT DRESS CODE
AIMS@ UNM is located on the University of New Mexico Science and Technology Park, which houses a multitude of Science and Technology businesses. It is the privilege of AIMS@UNM to be housed on this location, and it is our responsibility to present an image that in no way detracts from the business atmosphere of the Park. The purpose of the Albuquerque Institute for Mathematics and Science @UNM dress code is to create a professional, safe and respectful community where students can place their sole focus on learning. The dress code is in effect from the start of the school day until the end of the school day.
