A day at our school in Tucson, AZ begins early, with breakfast at 7:30, and goes late, until Study Hall is dismissed at 5:00. In between, there’s a lot to do, experience, and, most of all, learn.
Breakfast, 7:30-8:00 The school opens at 7:30 as the school’s 70+ scholars begin to arrive by car and city bus and on foot. Staff members serve a simple, healthful breakfast every morning to all Imago Dei scholars who want it. Most do.
Chapel, 8:00-8:30 School begins every day with Chapel. It’s a spiritually nourishing opportunity to settle, reflect, and focus on the day ahead.
Morning Classes, 8:30-12:30 Scholars focus on academics during Periods 1-4. The school’s curriculum includes English, Math, Science, History, Religion, and PE, plus regular instruction in Art and Music, Graduate Support classes, and daily Enrichment. On Wednesdays, students attend Eucharist during 4th period.
Lunch, 12:30-1:30 Everyone’s favorite hour. Scholars enjoy fresh, healthy, tasty meals prepared by Johnny Gibson’s Downtown Market. Before or after lunch, there’s a half-hour for play, indoors or out.
Enrichment, 1:35-3:00 The extended day, week and year allow time for experiences off and on campus, from sports and arts and crafts to dance, gardening, field trips, and much more.
Afternoon Classes, 3:00-4:00 Academic classes resume in the afternoon. Students are released early on Wednesdays, so staff can meet and plan.
Study Hall, 4:00-5:00 Study Hall is required and is supervised by teachers who can provide homework help to those who need it. Clubs and some special activities are also offered during this hour.
Dismissal, 5:00 Each day ends when students flood out onto the sidewalk and head for home. Tomorrow is another busy day.
