Grady in the news

The Academy for Innovation in Medicine (AIM), a new Grady-backed charter school, was recently featured on both 11Alive and Georgia Public Broadcasting for its innovative approach to education.

AIM offers a tuition-free, health care-focused education that integrates rigorous STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math and medicine) curriculum with dual enrollment, allowing students to graduate with a high school diploma, an associate’s degree and career credentials, ready to earn a living wage or continue their education.

The school recently welcomed its first class of 180 students to fill sixth and ninth grade. Enrollment is expected to grow annually and fill in other grade levels.  

This partnership builds on the strong foundation of Grady’s Teen Experience and Leadership Program (TELP), which has introduced students to health care through exposure, mentorship and leadership development.

Together, TELP and AIM create a continuum of opportunity – from early exploration to career-connected learning and workforce readiness.
