The Imani School 12401 South Post Oak Road, Houston, TX 77045

"The Imani School has become a permanent fixture in my life and are now a part of my family. We experienced the best 11 years of my son's life at the Imani School. From the Infant and Toddler School to the Primary School, the Imani School is truly a "home away from home" for its students on a daily basis. The Imani School provides a family environment and ensures that the students are prepared to excel academically beyond elementary and middle school years. Our children were given a spiritual foundation during their years at Imani that they will carry with them for a lifetime. Mrs. Lincoln starts off this extraordinary journey in academia in Kindergarten and Ms. Y. Smith finalizes the journey in 8th grade, ensuring that all of her students are prepared for high school academically and emotionally. The Head of School Mrs. Williams, embraces all of "her children" with love and ensures that they have a nurturing environment, by encouraging them to be their best and do their best. Mrs. Garner and Mrs. Gray are always available with a smile to provide any assistance needed in the front office or with parent relations. The Imani School will forever be engrained in my heart as family and part of my village in educating and raising my son!"

"Things started off great, but recently we've dealt with unprofessional teachers at the infant and toddlers school. Yelling at parents should be unacceptable and call for immediate disciplinary action however teachers are allowed to do these things (on multiple occasions to different parents) and are never forced to take responsibility for their actions and apologize to parents. Everyone is expected to just accept and move on but trust that their children are being care for without any negative impacts. Quality of care is inconsistent and teachers are often seen on their cell phones in the classroom when they should be watching the kids. A better communication protocol needs to be put in place between parents and staff. Unless questions are asked, not a lot of detail is consistently shared on daily reports for the little ones. And if questions are asked, some teachers automatically assume a parent is complaining or questioning their ability. This gets old after awhile of always have to justify why you are asking simple questions. Not all teachers are bad but there are a couple that just get away with this unacceptable behavior and leadership appears to look the other way or make excuses for their personality flaws. Cleanliness has also been an issue. A parent should not have to ask for the equipment kids play and lick on to be deep cleaned. Some of the items were so dirty and caked with old grit even after a basic cleaning they had to be pressure washed by the maintenance staff. There are a lot of little things that happened over our time at this school that we had to look past but the recent behavior of staff and lack of discipline caused us to disenroll our child. I would NOT recommend this school after our experience."

"Great school. My daughter has been here since kindergarten. All the staff including the principal Mrs Williams are exceptional. Currently my daughter is in Mrs Lincoln class and I can't use enough superlatives to say how great she has been. Phenomenal teacher. Before that she was in Mrs Banks class and she also is phenomenal!!!our daughter is assertive , smart and knows that everyone loves her."

"I love this school, I've been here for 7 years and I've had a wonderful experience. The teachers that are there teach you what you need to know. And the principal, she is the sweetest most amazing principal you would have. I love this school and God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Exceptional school, with an amazing Bible-based curriculum. We have been apart of the Imani Family for approximately 5 years, and we have a genuine love for the teachers, staff and the community. The parents, staff and students all feel like family. My children are exceptionally smart, & the teachers there work tirelessly to enhance their intelligence. Students are taught ahead of their grades, in some instances, which, in my opinion better prepares them for the grades ahead. My children come home reciting Bible verses, and singing praise and worship songs on a daily bases. The faith-based environment breeds positivity, humility and togetherness. I would recommend this school to anyone in search of an exceptional education for their children!"
