Please note, in keeping with our mission to offer a vibrant, rigorous, and holistic Christian education to families of all ethnicities and income levels in the Northside of Richmond, Imago Dei is not a “first-come, first-served” school. Instead, we strive to find the right students and families to ensure there is a mutually beneficial fit. All applications received by April 16 will be considered together.

Variable Tuition

IMAGO DEI OFFERS VARIABLE TUITION PLANS, BASED ON INCOME AND FINANCIAL NEED.

 

Within the city of Richmond, the cost to educate an elementary student is approximately $13,000. While public schools rely on funding from local, state and federal government sources, independent schools must collect tuition to operate. 

At Imago Dei, we believe the full expression of the kingdom of God depends on a community that is rich in diversity. Because this is fundamental to our mission, we raise money each year to ensure that we have a tuition plan to fit every family.

The amount of tuition paid by each family is primarily determined by household size and income, however additional factors may be considered, particularly for families facing extenuating circumstances. Each student’s specific tuition rate is confirmed through submission of financial paperwork. Payments can be made in one lump sum, or divided over ten months (August - May each academic year). To see an estimate of the tuition rate your family might expect, please use our Tuition Calculator.


Pre-Kindergarten Tuition

For the 2021/22 academic year, Imago Dei will offer a small, full day Pre-kindergarten class in conjunction with our elementary program. Tuition for this program is capped at $7,000. Please use the Tuition Calculator for an estimate of your family’s tuition rate.

Given Covid-19 precautions, families who are in the admissions process may choose to tour the campus, or may select a phone or video call with our Admissions and Community Liaison.
