The Imani School
About the School
- At The Imani School, everything we do is aimed at three enduring measures of success - the well developed mind, the well-nourished spirit, and a series of well-cultivated talents.
- We emphasize the importance of offering to God and to our community the best of ourselves: our character, integrity, self-discipline and our intellect.
- The faculty and I are totally committed to providing the finest quality program for the education of your children.
- However, the success of our program, and the development of each child depends upon a shared commitment between parents, administration and staff.
- Thank you for the support you've given this year.
- Our teachers recognize the dramatic physical, social, emotional and intellectual changes that occur during these years.
- Peers are becoming more influential; emotions are volatile; confusion and disorganization seem to be the order of the day.
- It is now that the partnership between Imani parents and teachers becomes most valuable.
- We understand the unique needs of the pre-adolescent and are prepared to meet those needs in a nurturing, yet challenging environment.
