The Kindezi Way

Kindezi is a Bantu word which describes the act by which a community educates, loves, and values every child.

Kindezi

"I have never encountered any children in any group who are not geniuses. There is no mystery on how to teach them. The first thing you do is treat them like human beings and the second thing you do is love them.”
- Dr. Asa Hilliard

The Kindezi Schools

As a STEAM Charter School network, Kindezi is a community of public schools in Atlanta, GA, with family-sized classes led by great teachers. We provide a genius-awakening education filled with love and rigor, that enables all children to thrive. We refer to our students as geniuses because every child has genius inside of them. They bring their genius to the classroom, and we are responsible for seeing it, awakening it, and cultivating it. A STEAM charter school is a publicly funded, independently run school that focuses on education in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics — hence the acronym STEAM.
