Our History

Imani received its Charter from the Philadelphia School District in 1999. When we opened our doors in September 1999 we had 300 students and approximately 20 staff. It fulfilled the dream of Dr. Francine Fulton who had been an educator in the district and a higher education instructor in the Philadelphia area.

Studying African cultures and frequently visiting various countries in Africa helped her become enlightened in African Philosophy. She now uses the knowledge gleaned from her varied exposure to empower her student population staff and parents.

She also believes Our recognition for making AYP three consecutive years may very well be attributed to the safe uninterrupted learning environment the combination of high levels of accountability for staff and students; and the infusion of the childrens historical evidence of their peoples contribution to the development of America."
