Mission

​Imago Dei Classical Academy assists parents who have chosen to assume sole responsibility for the education of their children.  The Academy adheres to the accredited Mother of Divine Grace School program, and offers tutoring and grading assistance in accordance with this program. 

Through this endeavor, the Academy works towards:

1. Fostering in our students a true love for and fidelity to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church and a desire to partake fully and joyfully in their heritage as baptized Christians.  As Christ says, “I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10.  
2. Immersing our students in what is true, good and beautiful, drawing upon centuries’ worth of the best in Catholic thought, education, art, literature and culture.  This process will form intelligent, clear and innovative thinkers ready for the challenges of the present age.  
3. Encouraging and preparing our students to devote themselves to a life of service to God and His people. This will be accomplished through the cultivating of personal discipline through the examples of the Saints and great historical figures of Christendom.
   ​

Fortified in this way, each student will leave the Academy inspired and prepared to participate in Christ’s mission as Priest, Prophet and King, and to effectively contribute toward the New Evangelization.

Concept

​Imago Dei Classical Academy is a two-day academic program designed to enrich and support the schooling of home-educated children and their families.  At Imago Dei, we work to bring together the beauty and flexibility of Catholic homeschooling with the benefits of a structured classroom environment. We work collaboratively with parents, supporting their efforts as the primary educators of their children. 

We consult with Mother of Divine Grace School to ensure high academic standards for our students and assistance with college preparation. Imago Dei tutors and students meet on Mondays & Thursdays in the classroom for instruction, Socratic discussion, ​oral presentation and study. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, students are schooled at home.

We offer art classes and afternoon recess for our lower school students in grades 1-6.  Faith formation talks, book club, and annual retreat is offered to upper school students in grades 7-12.

Imago Dei is run by laity in collaboration with a board of advisors. Our community is comprised of nearly 30 families, 90 students and 25 staff.
