Imhotep Academy | Co-Ed, K-8 Private School in Atlanta
Our student body is a vibrant tapestry of talented and curious minds. They come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, enriching our classrooms with a wealth of perspectives. Each student brings their unique strengths and interests, fostering a dynamic learning environment where everyone can grow.
Many of our students consistently demonstrate academic excellence. They possess strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, allowing them to excel in challenging coursework.
Our students take initiative in clubs and activities, holding leadership positions and organizing events, fostering valuable skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
Our students are curious and driven by a love of learning. They actively engage in classroom discussions, ask insightful questions, and demonstrate a genuine desire to expand their knowledge.
We believe that the seven principles will teach us the values of life:
To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.
To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves.
To build and maintain our community together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and to solve them together.
To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.
To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
The world belongs to us… So gaze upon this triumphant piercing sight – the builders of pyramids and vital contributors to the magnificent, glorious wonders of America’s present and future.
We are the ultimate students… who attribute our extremely high self-esteem and our tough-as nails disposition to our philosophical belief “that no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
We are the epitome of the expression “Excellence breeds excellence.”
We are tried, true and tested under fire in a tough, competitive environment. We reach for the unreached. WE take care of business. We are resilient, heroically bold, extremely candid, swift of mind, proud, yet humble.
We are the ultimate students who renew our quest for excellence every day. We seize the moment, we o not look back, we make big plans, we aim high. We always play to win.
We are the ultimate students…to whom much is given much is expected.
We do not rest on our laurels, nor do we place any limits on our intellectual or spiritual achievement. We never settle for “just getting by, making excuses, taking short cuts, cutting corners, beating the system, or goofing-off.”
We are not eager to follow others; we are not impressed with glitter and gleam, nor are we swayed by peer pressure.
We elect instead to soar like the eagle by always striving to achieve the magic and honor of leadership before we settle for the lesser easier role of following others.
We are the ultimate students… We measure our success not by what we are, but by what we could be; not by what we have done, but by what we can do.
We possess extreme confidence, character and self-abnegation.
We are not timid, intimidated or small minded.
Tomorrow belongs to us, and yesterday’s accomplishments will pale in comparison without academic achievements… We are adventurous, creative, daring and willing to accomplish what others say cannot be done.
We are the ultimate students… Who are respected for our inquiring, tameless, universal minds. We do not rest until our thoughts turn to actions.
We think beyond the traditional by reaching deeper into the unknown, by asking “What If”, “What About“, and “What Else”?
We are the ultimate students. We harness our God-given talents. As a result, we are expected to succeed in life and encouraged to share our success with those who are less fortunate.
We are the ultimate students…When we try, we do not cheat. When we lose, we do not cry. And, when we compete, we take no prisoners—none.
The world belongs to us…The future belongs to us…And today begins with us…The Ultimate Students.

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Lift Every Voice And Sing, till earth and Heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
