Linda dey|co-founder

Headmistress Emerita

Linda Dey along with Judy Ward founded The Imago School in 1981. She attended Wheaton College and after college obtained a Master of Arts in Teaching. After teaching English in junior high and working for a number of years on the staff of Young Life, a Christian ministry for high schoolers, she spent several years working at L’Abri in Switzerland with Francis and Edith Schaeffer. The impetus for founding Imago came from speaking with many who came to L’Abri who had never entertained the idea that Christianity is much more than a religious experience; it is the truth about reality.

Diana mckee|eX officio

Head of School
Academic Dean

Diana McKee is a New Englander, having grown up in Bedford, MA and graduated from the University of Vermont with a double major in Elementary and Special Education. She taught in NH public schools for a couple of years before the first of her three sons was born, at which point she joyfully jumped in full-time as Mom and then as home school teacher. Diana’s Imago adventure began when her sons were 11, 10, and 7, when all four of them joined the school together. She spent her first 15 years teaching in the Upper School (8th English, 7/8th Science) under founder Linny Dey, and was the Upper School Activities Director. She also taught 5th and 6th Grade Science for a number of years, and as the current Head of School she still enjoys leading the 1st and 3rd graders in Nature Studies!

She and her husband Blair have been married for 33 years and enjoy frolicking with their 4 grandchildren. Some of her other delights are reading wonderful books, water skiing, hunting for frogs and turtles, and taking fish off hooks for Imago students during recess. Diana believes that there is no school as precious as Imago because of our students and their families, the faculty and staff, and the joy that is found here!
