Imagine Higher

Imagine Higher is a private Christian elementary school created by teachers to inspire kids. The program offers a child-centered, God-loving, imagination-creating environment with small teacher/student ratios and a belief that children learn through play and imagination. It focuses on meaningful education, purposeful play, and character building life skills in a Christ centered, nurturing environment, and encourages effort rather than perfection.

Imagine Higher’s mission is to provide a child-centered, God-loving, imagination-creating environment that builds the love to learn, through meaningful education, purposeful play, and character building life skills in a Christ centered, nurturing environment. Teachers at Imagine have a passion for teaching, care about every child, understand the importance of building a foundation in early childhood development, and differentiate learning to meet the needs of every child through small teacher/student ratios. The leadership team includes founders Stephanie Marshall and Natalie Kirkley, along with administrators Jennifer De Haro and Craig Marshall. The program identifies as a learning community that prepares young learners for success and is associated with Imagine pre-k, established in 2019. Imagine Higher is a member of Lakeshore Church in Rockwall.

One parent reports that their child learns how to pray, how to be respectful, and how to be herself at Imagine Higher, and that the school teaches their daughter in the way that works best for her. The same parent notes that their daughter learns something new, makes new friends, and feels good about herself each day, and expresses appreciation to founders Natalie and Stephanie.
