Discover the heart behind Imago Dei Academy—our vision, our model, and our mission to partner with families in raising the next generation of faithful disciples.
Who We Are
Imago Dei Academy is a ministry of Encounter Church, created to support families in the discipleship and education of their children. We are not a traditional school; we are a homeschool support model where parents remain the primary disciplers, and the academy provides structure, community, and academic guidance.
Our approach is rooted in Classical Christian Education, where every subject is integrated with biblical truth to help students see God’s world rightly and glorify Him.
01
Our Vision
As God’s image-bearers, our students live for His glory, love God and neighbor, and uphold truth with conviction.
02
Our Mission
We partner with parents in classical Christian education to cultivate disciples of Jesus Christ—students who reflect God’s image, love God and neighbor, pursue truth with conviction, and thoughtfully engage society and culture.
What Makes Us Distinct
Christ-Centered Integration
Every academic subject is intentionally integrated with Biblical truth, helping students see God’s handiwork in all of creation.
The Classical Model
Our curriculum is rooted in the trivium—grammar, logic, and rhetoric—to equip students with the essential tools of learning.
Classical Literature
We place a strong emphasis on the humanities and classical literature, cultivating wisdom and virtue in every student.
Parental Discipleship
We partner with parents as the primary disciplers, providing the academy’s structure and communal guidance.
Faithful Fellowship
Our joyful and tight-knit learning community fosters a sense of belonging and meaningful connection across generations.
Classical Foundations
We offer a flexible curriculum framework that remains deeply rooted in classical traditions to support diverse family needs.
A Bridge to Discipleship

Why This Matters
Many parents feel the tension between faithfully discipling their children and navigating education alone. Imago Dei Academy exists to provide clarity, support, and community, helping families raise children who know, love, and follow Christ in every area of life.
