POSITIONS ARE IN Tindley Accelerated Schools – Indianapolis, IN
Tindley Accelerated Schools is an open enrollment charter school with
a network of six (6) schools, serving grades K-12. There is one track

level ahead so that they are ready to take all authentic college

History:
Tindley Accelerated Schools launched in 2002 as the Charter for
Accelerated Learning, Inc. In 2004, we launched Charles A. Tindley
Accelerated School in one of Indianapolis’ most impoverished
neighborhoods. In six short years, the Tindley School established
itself as a model for urban schooling in Indiana, winning the National
Blue Ribbon Schools Award in 2010.
Now, Tindley Accelerated Schools is focused on giving students
throughout urban Indianapolis access to opportunities for strong
educations. That’s why in 2010 the Charter for Accelerated Learning
became Tindley Accelerated Schools, dedicated to expanding quality
college-preparatory educational services for young people and helping
Indianapolis schools excel – so their students can do likewise.
Become a Leader at a Nationally Recognized Charter School System:
In 2010, Tindley Accelerated Schools was the recipient of the
National Blue Ribbon School award given by the United States
Department of Education. We have also been twice presented with a Four
Star School status by the Indiana Department of Education which places
Tindley in the top 25% of public schools in Indiana.
