The Imani School (Top Ranked Private School for 2025-26)

12401 S Post Oak Rd Ste A
Houston, TX 77045

At The Imani School, everything we do is aimed at three enduring measures of success - the well developed mind, the well-nourished spirit, and a series of well-cultivated talents.

We emphasize the importance of offering to God and to our community the best of ourselves: our character, integrity, self-discipline and our intellect.

The faculty and I are totally committed to providing the finest quality program for the education of your children.

However, the success of our program, and the development of each child depends upon a shared commitment between parents, administration and staff.

Thank you for the support you've given this year. Our teachers recognize the dramatic physical, social, emotional and intellectual changes that occur during these years.

Peers are becoming more influential; emotions are volatile; confusion and disorganization seem to be the order of the day.

It is now that the partnership between Imani parents and teachers becomes most valuable.

We understand the unique needs of the pre-adolescent and are prepared to meet those needs in a nurturing, yet challenging environment.
