Tindley Schools

Tindley Accelerated Schools, Inc. (ganization") began operations in 2002 as the Charter for Accelerated Learning, Inc. to provide educational services including charter school management, turnaround school services, and education consulting. In 2004, the Organization launched the Charles A. Tindley Accelerated School as an open-enrollment charter school serving grades 6-12, and now currently serves grades 7-12. From the beginning, the organization's vision has been to ensure 100 percent of its students gain acceptance to a fully-accredited four-year college or university. With this in mind, every student is required to complete a rigorous high school program culminating in authentic college courses. Regardless of past academic performance, Tindley accepts every scholar who applies and encourages each to reach their full potential. In August 2014, the Organization opened Tindley Summit Academy serving as an open enrollment charter elementary school which currently educates children in kindergarten through sixth grade. In August 2015, the Organization opened Tindley Genesis Academy serving as an open enrollment charter elementary school which currently educates children in kindergarten through sixth grade. In fiscal year 2017, the boys varsity basketball team made history in winning their first state championship. In addition to Governor Holcomb and Mayor Hogsett offering personal congratulations, the team received a House Concurrent Resolution, introduced by Representative Gary W. Porter.
