Mission
Tindley Accelerated Schools offers a rigorous, college-preparatory program that seeks to challenge each one of its students to pursue education beyond high school. It is the early college program that allows Tindley students the opportunity to earn college credit while still enrolled in high school.
Program accomplishments
- 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 and 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 Elementary School 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 Elementary School serving as an open-enrollment charter elementary school which currently educates children in kindergarten through third grade. Students at Genesis engage in concentrated music instruction throughout the school day which includes classes in instrumental music, singing, piano, and general music. In the area of math and science, Charles A. Tindley Accelerated High School's robotics team won the St. Joseph's District Highest Rookie Seed and Rookie All-Star honors in the 2017 FIRST Robotics competition. In 2023, they competed in the FIRST World Championship in Houston after winning the 2023 District Event Championship and being recognized with the Judge's Engineering Inspiration Award. This competition featured teams from 30+ nations. Tindley continues to promote and grow its extracurricular programs in conjunction with its rigorous academies, including, but not limited to, athletics, band, theater, community garden, and an innovation lab. Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year for each school was as follows: Charles A. Tindley Accelerated: 296 Tindley Summit Academy: 317 Tindley Genesis Academy: 358. The 2024-2025 school year marked a 20-year milestone. Over the last 20 years, more than 500 Tindley scholars have earned college credits from Anderson University and the University of Evansville. This year, Purdue University has been added as a partner. These scholars have earned 10,000 college credits while at Tindley. The total amount of money saved by these scholars is $8,751,850.Expenses $10,726,844 · revenue $184,937
