Student Testimonials

At AIMEE, we begin learning the concept without textbooks. We use games, activities, experiments and simulation to learn the concepts. We focus on understanding the concepts instead of memorising the rules and laws. We often go out to see some places related to our subjects. Also, I like that we have many outdoor sports at school that we can choose from.
