Imani buys school for $1 million PDF Print E-mail

The city school board Wednesday night accepted a $1 million bid from the Imani Christian Academy for the former East Hills Elementary School.

Imani officials said afterward they intend to move into the school by next fall.

"This will give us a much greater physical presence in the community," Imani founder and board co-chair Bishop Donald Clay said. "We're trying to enhance the area physically as well as spiritually."

In accepting the bid in an 8-0 vote, the board acted against a policy established 30 years ago of not selling closed schools to competitors.

School board member Thomas Sumpter favored selling the property to Imani in part because the school takes students from Pittsburgh Public Schools and other districts.

Imani Creed

An Imani student is spiritual.  We recognize the finished work of Jesus Christ.  We are thankful for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who walks with us.  We are comforted because the Lord is our Shepherd and we are glad because nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

An Imani student is mentally strong.  We have been tried, tested and elevated to a level of academic excellence by pursuing our studies with passion.  We are world changers.  Our minds have been expanded and our purpose and destiny have collided with the reality of our aptitude.

An Imani student is socially responsible.  We have been developed in our service.  Our God-given gifts are on display for the benefit of all mankind through our service.  We live out the declaration and the designation of the Son of Man by recognizing the good in all men and serving them unselfishly.  Our goal in this is to die for others so they might realize the love of Christ.  No task is too small and no task is too large for we know that those whose paths we cross will recognize the love of Christ through our service to them.

By these standards, an Imani student can be identified. By these standards an Imani student is set apart.  By these standards, an Imani student will bless your heart.
