AIM Overview
ATHENS INSTITUTE OF MINISTRY
INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM
Our philosophy is that the best teaching will take place in the classroom, with face-to-face contact between student and teacher. We are eager to build a personal connection with every student, and believe that ideally all of us would be equally able to congregate in one city for all sessions. The five international centers for AIM all involve face-to-face teaching, supplemented by online video and DVD distance instruction.
