Dear Friends,

As both Founder and the Head of the IMG Pendleton School, I am delighted to welcome you to our web site and provide a brief introduction to the School, a private, coeducational institution for grades PK -12 and postgraduates that is located on the 400-acre campus of the IMG Academies.

The history of IMG is one rich in scholarship, leadership, and the support of elite athleticism. We are a school specifically designed to meet the needs of young people who have a passion for sports and who want to receive individualized, academic preparation for university. We promote an appreciation for diversity in our community as an integral part of school life and a sense of responsibility toward others both within the school and within the IMG community at large.

Our curriculum delivery is varied to keep students engaged and to help ensure higher academic performance. This is accomplished in an environment that recognizes different learning styles and where, in addition to our regular morning and afternoon class offerings, an evening tutorial is held four nights per week, staffed by our full-time faculty. We offer students over ten hours of faculty engagement which is critical in order to accommodate the training demands of each sport at IMG Academies.

It is my hope that our website conveys the warmth and enthusiasm of our incredible community of students, teachers, staff, parents and alumni and the unique learning environment that IMG is so proud to offer. If you find the time to visit campus, you will discover 540 students who recognize that pursuing an athletic passion does not preclude high academic achievement.

Sincerely,

Rich Odell,
Headmaster
