About Our Nia Academy
Nia Imani Academy is a newly started PK3-8th Grade independent Christian school located in LaPlata, Maryland. It is the vision of Pastor, Amina Fola-Rose of Nia Imani Christian Center. She is an educator with a heart for children who believes that all children can achieve at high levels given the proper resources. Nia and Imani are Swahili words that mean purpose and faith, respectively. Accordingly, one of the main purposes of the school is to help the students develop their faith in God. It is a year round program with 6 weeks of instruction followed by 2 weeks of intercession. Students get 3-5 weeks of summer break! Uniforms are required.

Nia Imani Academy's mission is to produce college and career ready students with exceptional skills to be successful 21st century learners who are independent thinkers, resilient, confident, and technologically literate. This will be accomplished through a learning environment where staff believes in the academic success of all students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level on rigorous state and national assessments.

Nia Imani Academy will achieve its goals through:
- Small classroom size (16 student maximum)
- Christian-based instruction for character building and application
- Rigorous research based curriculum and instruction based on Common Core
National Standards
- Standard and attributes based assessments against benchmark and for
