Academics
At The Imani School, students grow in curiosity, confidence, and character. Our classrooms blend strong core academics with hands-on learning, problem-solving, and opportunities to lead—so every child can discover their strengths and thrive.
Research has shown that children often rise—or fall—to the level of expectations set for them. At The Imani School, we set the bar high and provide the instruction, encouragement, and support needed to help students reach and exceed those expectations.
Imani offers an enriched, developmentally appropriate, and highly challenging education for every student. Here, peer pressure works for learning—our outstanding students inspire and motivate their classmates to excel.
The curriculum is designed to both nurture and challenge, preparing students for the demanding academic programs characteristic of the high schools our graduates attend. Our success is reflected in student confidence, strong standardized test performance, and awards earned locally and nationally in science, math, speech, and writing.
Proven Achievement.
Proven Success.
The best way to measure a school is by the strength of its educational model and the accomplishments of its graduates.
Imani graduates are regularly recognized and accepted by the most selective high schools in the Houston area. The Imani School is a proven choice in independent Christian education—developing confident, capable students who succeed academically and personally. Imani students stand out.
