Middle School (6–8)
Our teachers recognize the dramatic physical, social, emotional, and intellectual changes that occur during these years. Peers become more influential; emotions can be volatile; and disorganization can feel like the order of the day. This is when the partnership between Imani parents and teachers matters most.
We understand the unique needs of the pre-adolescent and are prepared to meet those needs in a nurturing yet challenging environment.
A Rigorous Program that Builds Confidence
The Imani School offers a rigorous academic program that provides a solid foundation for study in high school and beyond. We believe a worthwhile education should demand hard work, deep exploration, and a growing sense of intellectual self-confidence.
In every discipline, we emphasize mastery of fundamental skills and content, along with the study skills needed to become self-sufficient.
Students receive thorough instruction in core courses and meaningful exposure to additional subjects that round out their education at this stage.
