About Tindley

The Charles A. Tindley Accelerated School is a public charter school that welcomed its first students in 2004. Charter schools thrive because they can focus on a singular mission. School leaders act as educational entrepreneurs who respond to student needs and quickly implement any necessary changes. Charter schools also have a high level of accountability, providing yearly reports and being comprehensively reviewed on an annual basis.

 

Tindley’s charter was granted because of its mission to adopt the accelerated school model to ensure that all its students pursue a degree at a selective college or university. Accelerated Schools PLUS is a national movement to transform school communities by applying gifted and talented teaching strategies, traditionally reserved for only the top 5% of students, to all students.

 

Students enter Tindley at different grade levels, but all students pursue a college preparatory track. We know that might be intimidating, especially if a student has struggled academically. That is why we commit all available resources to assisting each student in addressing any academic deficits or challenges.

 

We ask our students and families to do whatever it takes to reach this goal; we commit to always do the same.
