Kindezi (K-8) embraces the collective responsibility and honor of
rearing the village’s youth and raising our community’s children as future
leaders of the global world. As such, we strive to create schools we are proud
of and places where all members of the school community; teachers, staff, and
parents, feel comfortable sending their children here. We hold a high bar for
our teachers and work to hire elite, loving teachers that have a track-record
of building deep relationships with students and leading them to high levels of
student achievement. Importantly, Kindezi teachers are here because they find
deep meaning in developing the awesome potential in every student. To accomplish
this lofty goal, we maintain small class sizes (6-8 students per class), prioritize
socio-emotional development, and intersperse electives such as creative
writing, engineering, drama, music and computer science into the school day. To
date, we have outperformed Atlanta Public Schools on the 2015-16 Georgia
Milestones assessment across grade levels. We also received the highest
possible rating for all Georgia Charter Schools on the Beating the Odds report,
a report that evaluates schools based on their ability to close the achievement
gap.
