Imago is the Latin word for “image”.
The school bears this name because our philosophy of education is rooted in the belief that people are created in the image of God. The Imago School Association was founded in June, 1980, to establish a grammar day school based on the biblical understanding of who we are as human beings created by God.
Imago serves Christ’s Church by seeking to be an exemplary educational institution that helps parents equip their children to be articulate, bold, compassionate and discerning in the work of reclaiming the world for the glory of God.
We affirm that:
- A personal, loving, triune God exists as the source of all truth about reality.
- God created everything which exists to glorify Him.
- Each person is made in the image of God as a creative and unique individual.
- The Fall, man’s initial rebellion against God, has affected all creation and alienated the human race from the Creator.
- God reveals truth about Himself and reality, both within the natural world and in His written word, the Bible.
- The Bible is true in every area that it addresses.
- Our hope and our reason for life are rooted in the redemptive work of Christ.
- Christ’s sacrificial death provides forgiveness and the means of reversing the effects of the Fall.
- An understanding of truth is not enough to save us; we must bow before God as creatures and sinners, and accept His gift of forgiveness in Christ.
The Imago School is a longstanding member of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools.
