At Imani Christian Academy, we embrace all children in our society, particularly those who are at-risk.
Our goal is to transform them into whole adults ' spiritually, academically, physically and socially ' and then release them into lives of purpose and contribution.
We embrace all children in our society, particularly those who are at-risk, transform them into whole adults ' spiritually, academically, physically and socially ' and then launch them into lives of purpose and contribution.
Our Christian philosophy begins with the belief that children are precious gifts from God and they must be nurtured in an environment that promotes and teaches that God is the source of all wisdom and knowledge.
That is our daily focus. Every child is born with purpose and destiny and we help to reveal this to them.
