TINDLEY GENESIS ACADEMY

Tindley Genesis Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Tindley Genesis Academy school district, located in Indianapolis, IN with about 254 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, Tindley Genesis Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Tindley Genesis Academy, located on North Capitol Avenue in Indianapolis, is a public charter school that serves as part of the well-regarded Tindley Accelerated Schools network.

The school is particularly recognized for its emphasis on character development and a "no-excuses" educational philosophy, which prioritizes core subjects like mathematics and literacy. By maintaining a longer school day and year compared to traditional public schools, Tindley Genesis aims to provide students with additional instructional time and a variety of enrichment opportunities. The school’s curriculum is designed to foster both intellectual curiosity and personal responsibility, serving a diverse student population in the Indianapolis area with the explicit goal of ensuring that every child is prepared to compete at the collegiate level.
