The Kindezi School will be a kindergarten through eighth grade charter school in southwest Atlanta, opening in August 2010.

Recently approved by Atlanta Public Schools, The Kindezi School will pioneer a dramatically different approach to public education including:

• Family-sized classrooms with six students and one teacher
• Tutorial method as a main form of instruction
• Individualized instruction for each student
• A focus on leadership and the arts

5 Core Beliefs

1. We believe that there is no conflict between rigorous expectations and supportive nurturing care. What children need is BOTH.
2. We believe that standardized tests measure basic skills that our students should have. But they don’t measure other skills that our students should have like creativity and critical thinking skills. With just six students per class, Kindezi teachers can and will teach children effectively so that skills measured on the test can be achieved while also cultivating a variety of other skills, talents and interests.
3. We believe that children are unique individuals with differences to which teachers must adapt their instruction. With just six students per class, Kindezi teachers can and will instruct each student in a way that is right for where they are at that time.
4. We believe that a culture of accountability—where everybody (students, parents, teachers, and administrators) is accountable for meeting clear and high expectations—is critical to our success.
5. We believe strongly in democracy. The Kindezi School model integrates the voices of parents in the education of their child and the voices of teachers in managing the school in a meaningful way that goes beyond just lip service.
