Its laptop initiative distributes a HP Tablet PC to every student in the school. It utilizes a block schedule with 88-minute periods. AITE students refer to a 4-period schedule each day, alternating between "A and B" days. Classes go by (A1, A2, A3, and A4 on A Days and B1, B2, B3, and B4 on B Days) and there are two different lunch waves (one from 10:30 to 11:00 and one from 12:03 to 12:32).

History

AITE was established in 1999 as the Academy of Information Technology (AIT). In 2005, the name of the school became the Academy of Information Technology and Engineering, in order to reflect the school's emphasis on engineering-related courses in addition to the technology-related courses already offered.
