Tindley Genesis Academy:
"Academic Excellence Through the Arts"
This is our motto at Tindley Genesis Academy (TGA) where we believe
that academic excellence can be achieved at its fullest potential with
and through the music and the arts.
We believe it’s critical for elementary school students to begin
preparing for rigorous middle school, high school and college
opportunities at a young age. That’s why our students participate in a
challenging and interactive curriculum based on the same accelerated
model used at the Tindley high school and middle schools. Tindley
Genesis also provides exceptional instruction in music and infuses
performing arts skills into the general education setting.
Ultimately, our students will possess the confidence, academic
ability and resiliency to overcome obstacles on their journey toward
academic and professional success.
The key to getting our students started on this journey is a stellar
ensemble of teachers who not only expect excellence, but also ensure
that all of their actions promote the excellence for which they strive.
TGA is the Indiana’s first and only music-focused accelerated
elementary school. Teaching and leading at TGA is an incredible
opportunity to build a learning community from the ground up.
