Imago Dei Middle School

IMAGO DEI MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A PRIVATE, TUITION-FREE SCHOOL serving children who qualify for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program. We serve children in grades 5 - 8. Students attend school for 10 hour a day Monday through Friday, and a half day on Saturday, for 11 months a year. This time allows for the students to excel academically and to develop their talents and interests. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 10 to 1, and a limit of 20 students per grade, our students receive individual attention and support. We provide two nutritious meals daily, and we enhance each day with extracurricular activities. Imago Dei students live and learn in a nurturing environment.

Imago Dei is a Member of the NativityMiguel Network. The first Nativity school was opened in New York City nearly 40 years ago. Today, there are 65 schools in 27 states serving over 4,500 children. Approximately, 90% of NativityMiguel students graduate from high school. Even more encouraging, as many as 75% enroll in a two or four year college, university, or post-secondary education program. Imago Dei is also a Member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools.
