AIG Services are one of many programs embedded in the Durham Public School's Core Beliefs that guide and direct learning taking place within all of our schools. In order to embrace and empower students (as set forth in the Mangum AIG mission statement) the AIG program seeks to deliver an "advanced level of educational opportunities to motivate and meet the individual student's needs." Our mission of focusing attention on improving the educational services for advanced learners falls within the realm of reaching the highest potential of every student.

Core Beliefs
We believe in:
Equity: Our students and schools deserve equitable access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. Durham Public Schools and the community must distribute those resources in a manner that eliminates inequities.
Shared Responsibility: Durham Public Schools must be intentional in acting collaboratively and involving all stakeholders, ensuring that our community utilizes its collective resources to support every child. The Durham community shares responsibility with DPS for the success of our children.
High Expectations: Durham Public Schools will challenge every stakeholder, especially our students and educators, to embrace a growth mindset: the belief that every child can be academically successful. It is our expectation that all of our students will excel globally and reach their highest potential.
A Child-centered Approach: Our students deserve an education that is caring, is culturally responsive and embraces the whole child. Durham Public Schools will address the social, emotional, and academic needs of each student.
