Imago Dei Middle School is an independent, tuition free middle school for children who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
We admit children of diverse faiths, races, cultures, and cognitive profiles, believing in the Episcopal tradition that we find god in and through each other's presence.
Imago Dei's small classes, individualized curricula, and extended school days provide rigorous academic, moral and social instruction.
In close partnership with families, we are an innovative learning community that affords structured support to help students thrive.
Together, we are a school that never gives up on a child.
