AIAN supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the Connect 5 mentorship program, which connects students with mentors from local businesses and organizations to develop meaningful projects, and through a family‑like school culture with individualized attention and peer support; the Early Childhood Program also develops self‑esteem in ages 3–6 within an immersive English learning environment.
AIAN is unable to enroll children with severe disabilities and does not retain specialists that provide appropriate support services; academic intervention and personal support are addressed through the Primary, Secondary, and ELL departments.
EAL support is provided through the ELL department, with MAP testing coordinated by the ELL department and an ELL Coordinator (Mr. Glen Porritt) to support English language learners.
Middle School students are supported academically and emotionally, reflecting AIAN's emphasis on a nurturing environment with individualized attention and peer support.
There is a qualified school nurse on campus to support student health and safety.
