Clubs & Activities

Chess Team

The Imani Chess Team is one of the top three elementary-school chess teams in Houston. With a strong work ethic and dedication to the game, our players have earned the respect of the Houston Scholastic Chess community. Under Coach Gerardo Romero, students learn not only to win, but also to build character through adversity, love the game, make new friends, and have fun doing it.

The Imani Golden Knights have won four team championships, seven second-place team trophies, and eleven third-place team trophies. We’ve produced nine individual champions, forty multi-trophy winners, and over 120 total individual trophies earned by fifty different Imani chess students. All accolades are for the glory of God!

National Junior Beta Club

The Jr. Beta Club Induction Ceremony is a beloved, joy-filled tradition at The Imani School. For students, induction marks the culmination of hard work and perseverance; for teachers, it reflects the moment when instruction becomes learning and learning becomes knowledge; for administrators, it’s a chance to recognize students who give their very best; and for parents, it’s—simply—“shouting time.”

Our philosophy—“commitment to excellence for the glory of God”—has yielded Christian scholars for nearly 25 years. For about 15 of those years, eligible students have joined our National Beta Club chapter. Requirements include a 3.6 GPA and satisfactory conduct. Students become eligible upon completion of the fourth grade.

Robotics Club

Think robotics is only for big kids? Not at Imani! Children as young as four practice coding with Bee-Bots, build robots, and apply problem-solving to real-world challenges.

This hands-on program sparks curiosity and confidence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) while nurturing creativity, collaboration, and perseverance.
