Our mission comes alive through our motto: “Pushing onwards towards the future,” or Adelante. Adelante pushes us to always think and dream about that future and to inspire scholars to be leaders in their communities. It pushes us to find solutions to challenges that we encounter during the pursuit of our mission. It pushes us to ensure that everything we do is truly for the benefit of our scholars’ futures, and to the future of the community, we are lucky enough to serve. It makes clear that we value education not as a means to an ephemeral end, but as a pursuit to inspire life-long learning.
ADELANTE SCHOOLS
THE ADELANTE DIFFERENCE
WHO WE SERVE
Adelante Schools powers Emma Donnan Elementary & Middle School. We are a tuition free K-8 public charter school on the south side of Indianapolis.
HOW WE'RE RUN
Adelante Schools is a non-profit that manages Emma Donnan Elementary & Middle School in partnership with Indianapolis Public Schools and The Indianapolis Mayor's Office.
HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
We know that great schools are made with great teachers and a great curriculum. Read about our model and our mission below.
Curriculum Matters
Our model puts a big focus on two things. Great teachers and a great curriculum. We have spent years working with the nation's leaders in groundbreaking schools to see what works. We have selected the highest quality research-based curriculum because our Scholars deserve nothing but the best.
Great People
It is no secret that great teaching is what makes a great school. We hire and retain the best of the best so that every scholar has a rigorous academic experience. We offer competitive pay and endless benefits to take care of our people so that they can be their best for our scholars.
Driven by Values
We have created a place where our scholars and community can be themselves and be celebrated for that alone. Our core values of Swing, Ebullience, Integrity, Optimism, and Solidarity drive everything that we do.
