Why Choose Us
How is Imago Dei Different?
Like-Minded
We seek to support families as they desire to fulfill their responsibility to evangelize and disciple their children. Our family partnerships intend to instill excellence of character and fill our children with Godly wisdom. We believe the family, church, and school all have the same goal; and therefore, we aim to provide an educational environment that facilitates Christian discipleship and where students can celebrate the commonalities of the Christian faith.
Distinctly Classical
The classical model was employed to educate most of the West’s great artists, thinkers, writers and statesmen. Classical education is about equipping and preparing children for the future with what has been proven successful in the past. Students are taught how to learn, not just what to learn, developing independent scholars enabled to confidently pursue a life of learning and accurately evaluating the truth, goodness and beauty in this world. The greatest distinctive of classical schools is the intentional way subjects and Christian truth are interwoven.
