North Hills Christian School strives to ensure we help each student reach his or her God-given potential. We believe that every individual is uniquely created in God's image, with a specific plan and purpose. Our AIM (Academic Individualization and Modification) program is designed to address the diverse learning needs of our students, ensuring that they receive the support they require to succeed.
Why AIM? (Academic Individualization & Modification)
Students may be assigned to AIM classes for various reasons, including:
- Gifted Enrichment Program: Designed to challenge advanced learners. At NHCS, enrichment means deeper, more meaningful learning — not just more work.
- Transition Support: New students may need extra support to acclimate to the North Hills environment and curriculum.
- Skill Development: Students who may be struggling with specific (often foundational) concepts or skills can receive targeted instruction in AIM classes.
- Diagnosed Learning Difficulties: Students with learning challenges may benefit from the individualized attention and specialized instruction provided in AIM classes.
- Classroom Performance or Low Test Scores: Students who are experiencing academic difficulties may need to be in AIM to receive additional support.
- VICTORS Program: Designed for students with significant academic or developmental needs who require intensive support beyond AIM and benefit from a smaller, highly structured learning environment.
Early Education—Kindergarten:
- Foundational Support — Early learners receive AIM Advisory support for reteaching, additional practice, and differentiated instruction to strengthen core foundational skills.
- Kindergarten Victors Program — A small, highly supported and play-based learning environment with structured routines, hands-on instruction, and individualized support to meet each child’s developmental and academic needs.
Lower School (1st-4th Grades):
- Targeted Skill Building — Students receive specialized support in math, reading, and academic organization through small-group instruction, research-based reading approaches, and individualized skill reinforcement.
- Lower School Victors Program — A small-group, highly supported classroom offering structured routines, hands-on learning, and individualized instruction to help students grow academically, socially, and behaviorally.
