The Tunbridge School is operated by Afya Baltimore Inc. (ABI).

Afya Baltimore Inc. (ABI) has been operating high quality public charter schools in Baltimore City since 2007. From the beginning, our mission was clear – we wanted to teach Baltimore’s children to lead healthy, balanced lives. Health was so integral to our program that it inspired our name – Afya, which means “health” in Swahili. Fifteen years later, with two established pre-K through 8th grade schools and 1,500 students across three facilities, health is still at the heart of what we do. We nurture and support our students to be active learners and caring community members. We call our mission The Afya Way.

Our Vision

The Afya Way is a comprehensive whole-child approach. From our littlest learners in pre-K to our adolescents in 8th grade, we prepare our students for a healthy future by building a foundation for and a pathway to high school and beyond. In our classrooms, our students engage in content that is meaningful, challenging, and relevant to their lives. Our students learn to think critically, work collaboratively, be physically active, and develop a strong sense of self and community. Together with families and our partners, we support our students in taking ownership of their education, developing their voice and sense of agency, and taking decisive action to improve themselves and their community. At each step of the educational journey, we set ambitious and feasible goals, and we work relentlessly to help every one of our students — of every race, gender, socioeconomic status, and ability — achieve them.
