The Accelerated Schools

4000 S. Main St.   Los Angeles, CA   90037

Founded in 1994, as one of the first charter schools in California, TAS was guided then, and the charter cluster still is today, by the founding belief that all students can excel when nurtured in an environment that combines high expectations and active involvement from parents and the community. Through an innovative, rigorous curriculum coupled with intentional guidance and instruction, TAS strives to graduate students who are lifelong learners and engaged citizens, well-prepared to succeed in college and beyond. The next CEO will inherit a dynamic community of three schools located on the same street, with state-of-the-art, modern campuses, and separate charters — brought to life by 1,770 students and 231 staff, with a positive reputation, top-notch facilities, and an exceptionally strong financial position—poised for continued success.
