Imagine International Academy of North Texas Reviews

57 reviews

Imagine International Academy of North Texas has been a pivotal part of my academic journey as a senior student. This school excels in cultivating a global perspective, promoting tolerance, and embracing diversity. The faculty's dedication and passion for their subjects have consistently pushed me to achieve my best, and the small class sizes allow for personalized guidance. The school, however, is not without fault. The number of extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports is lacking, especially compared to other schools. Furthermore, despite the school's best efforts, the overall school spirit and community are not at the level they should be. Despite these challenges, my time at Imagine International Academy has been invaluable in preparing me for my future. Addressing workload and facilities, along with a proactive approach to inclusivity, would make it an even more exceptional place for students to thrive.

I have been attending Imagine International Academy of North Texas since it was founded in 2012 where I began as a first-grader all the way up to now where I am a senior. The worst parts about this experience have definitely had to do with the faculty. The school seems to attract bad teachers, which heavily stunts development as a student while attracting the quality teachers. The school really has nothing to offer the good teachers and incentivize them to stay with such limited funding and poor working conditions. The academic rigor is always a pain, but is manageable with perseverance and dedication. The best part is by far the sense of community and comradery because of how small the class size is, we really get a chance to connect with one another and the teachers to form genuine bonds.

I have been attending Imagine International Academy of North Texas since the first grade. This school has allowed me to grow by strengthening my communication and critical thinking skills with the IB program and has given me some of the best friends I could ask for. The school is small so students are able to form meaningful relationships with their peers and teachers, influencing them to make the most out of their learning and school experience. I can confidently say that this school prepares its students for college with the amount of rigor and resources it offers.

Review Imagine International Academy of North Texas

Imagine is a school that provides students with a lot of work to prepare them for College. The IB program is also used in this school to test students knowledge and critical thinking. This school isn’t for everyone, and if you do want to attend you have to be prepared to work. Academically this school is not bad, however if you are and athlete or have your own interests in which classes you’d like to take do not choose this school. You are given limited class choices (as part of the IB) and the school is not recognized by colleges for athletics. The school is academically recognized and has been given quite a few awards.

Imagine is an amazing school when it comes to academics, but not when it comes to other things like sports, art, music, etc. The teachers have their favorites and ignore the rest of the class. For instance, they let some kids get away with misbehavior or bullying, but when another kid does it thee have a harsh punishment. This school does not spend any money on facility, equipment, and teachers. They make their students eat in the gym. Overall, my experience at Imagine hasn't been the best.

Imagine is a school for people dedicated to their learning. The IB program here is extremely demanding, and at times can be very stressful. Students must be mindful that as they get older, the coursework becomes more rigorous. However, if they're able to balance school and outside activities well, they will develop the skills to not only be successful here, but in the future as well (speaking as a DP student).

this school doesn't prioritize its teachers. They don't pay them well enough, so they leave. We have had over 7 teachers go this year alone as they were not getting paid. Since they don't pay their teachers, the students end up having to pay for it when the school hires lower-quality teachers to make up for their low salaries. It is impossible to learn when the teacher doesn't know how to teach, but the teacher who did left to get a higher pay.

I have had a great experience at Imagine International Academy of North Texas. However, because the school doesn't pay the staff well, there are many staff changes each year. I think it would be helpful if the school paid more so that the students can maintain the stability they need in this very rigorous IB curriculum

I have been to my school for 11 years now, and planning on spending my senior year staying at this school too. Overtime, I have watched as the school has changed and improved for the better. My teachers truly care about my education, and are passionate about what they teach, which makes for an overall engaging and educational class. The skills I learn at this school, such as time management and critical thinking, are not only applicable for the school itself, but for my outside life involving extracurriculars and for my future in college and in careers. Sometimes the school can push too hard, which is why there are so few students in my grade and in the higher grades as a whole, but overall I think its for the better. It forces us to adapt and conquer the challenges thrown at us, and be properly prepared for our future.

Imagine is a highly academic focused IB school that prepares you for college so well that it makes it feel easier than the DP program they offer. I would like to see more activities sponsored by the school to boost school spirit which at times is low.

I have been going to imagine for over 8 years and it is very challenging and prepares you for college really well. It is a great IB school.

a poor school that prides itself on being an IB school when in reality, you can do IB AND AP, dual credit, associates degree, CTE career classes, get certifications and so much more whether its sports, arts, etc. in a public school with a nicer campus and bigger population with more diversity truly preparing you for college. Imagine sells itself on lies, and a lot of parents fall for it my parents included. comparing my time to imagine not just because they are poor at helping kids with disabilities, helping students with the rigorous workload of IB, I would've been way less successful at IIANT than public school. Don't fall for flashy lies.

Imagine International Academy is a great school in terms of college preparation. However, the budget and size of the school limits the amount of good quality resources, and teachers available to the students. The school prioritizes academics over the mental and physical well being of the students. Input from students isn't taken seriously.

This school is full of dreams and imagination it's very diverse, which I like. All teachers are friendly and caring. As a student, I believe that their academics is out of the box.

This school is an amazing place to get prepared for college. It is an IB Charter School and while it doesn't have a big building and lots of learning supplies, most of the teachers there are invested in your learning. The classes here are all here to teach you the how AND the why, "the process" rather than memorization like public schools. There are lots of collaborative projects and individual projects that help you learn how to achieve the best outcome. This school isn't well funded so they don't have amazing sports and arts but if you do sign up for them, know you'll be welcomed.
This school breaks you before college does so that when you get to college, you'll think "this is a breeze because I've already had this rigorous work before."

The school has great teachers and curriculum. The school really focus on preparing students for college and assist parents with college applications. The school does not have all the resources that other public schools have, however, the level of education is much higher. We are very pleased to have our two daughters enrolled in Imagine. It has been a great experience and I can tell how much they have improved since they started going to Imagine.

I like how student are able to think globally about concepts and it has allowed them to broaden their perspectives.

Review Imagine International Academy of North Texas

It's a good school if your student is able and willing to pursue their education on there own. A lot of the work is up to the individual with little support from the staff. Some teachers love what they do other you ca tell are underpaid. The school itself is small and the admin has too much on its plate to take care of all the necessities. It's a good option if you wish to avoid public schools and have a more challenging environment.

As I have attended this school since the 5th grade I have had wonderful experiences in watching this school grow. This school has truly become my home as I have grown very close to my class mates as our class sizes are comparatively small, with about 50 students. Despite the little funding limiting our ability to support sports and arts, as the students we have pushed forward and found new ways to build up our school through programs such as Youth and Government, NHS and many more. Additionally, our school maintains a unique school culture with students from all different areas around the Mckinney location, creating a positive mix of all different cultures and nationalities. This has been a wonderful opportunity for me, as I have been able to learn of so many different cultures and be open minded to different traditions. To help maintain this culture, I have been a part of the student led advisory council, which aims to ensure our school culture is strong and growing.

I wouldn’t go back but I’m not mad that I went there. Pyp is a good program but beyond that I wouldn’t recommend. If the schools in your area are know as good schools I’d go to those before going to imagine.
