Tekoa Charter School, Inc. was a divine inspiration given to our Founder/CEO Dr. Paula Richardson in October of 1997. Tekoa came from the Holy Bible in the Old Testament Book of Amos. Dr. Richardson was embraced and supported by the Port Arthur community to open the charter school. Dr. Richardson's spiritual advisor, Pastor Marvin E. Moore of Harvest Time Bible Church (Port Arthur, TX) donated his church to use as the first educational building. Today, that building stands as the Central Administration Building. \\Tekoa Charter School, Inc. dba Tekoa Academy of Accelerated Studies became a certified open enrollment public charter school on May 1, 1999. The Texas Education Agency deemed the approval of the school to give parents and students in the South County Community in Southeast Texas an opportunity to have a choice in public education. The Academy opened August 16, 1999 with grades K – 6th. In 2001, the Texas Education Agency approved the Academy to expand grade levels to Pre-K 3 and 4 year olds through the 12th grade. \\Tekoa Academy of Accelerated Studies STEM School has expanded to the city of Orange, TX with grade levels Pre-K 3 and 4 year olds through the 5th grade. Planning is underway for the expansion into Houston, TX. Tekoa Academy of Accelerated Studies STEM School will graduate its 4th class of high school seniors in June 2013.
