IMS is a nonprofit network of 14 independent Catholic schools serving 4,000 students in grades Pre-K to 8 from families of all faiths in and near Philadelphia.

 

With a rigorous curriculum and high expectations, our schools challenge students to develop strong minds.

Guided by our Catholic values, we nurture the development of moral character, respectful behavior, and loving hearts.

With support from generous donors, IMS provides financial aid to every family, making our schools affordable for all.

Last year, 81% of graduates enrolled at an Archdiocesan Catholic high school, an Independent Catholic or Non-Catholic School, or a PHL Special Admit/Magnet school.

“The thing that makes IMS so special for my family is that they make you feel special. They stop at nothing to make sure your child succeeds. So to me it’s a no-brainer.”
