Middle School
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.
