Academia Timoteo (Timothy) has been commited to educating children in the Greater Philadelphia area for over fifty years. Founded in 1956 by a group working with Baptist Mid-Missions, Academia Timoteo was established in six inner-city row homes to serve the children of the primarily non-English speaking Latino community in eastern North Philadelphia. Today, as one of the few private, Christian schools in North Philadelphia, Academia Timoteo provides a full complement of early childhood care, pre-K-8 education, summer educational enrichment program and after-school programming, serving children at 303 West Lehigh Avenue.
Owned by Iglesia Evangelica Bautista of Philadelphia since 1974, Academia Timoteo currently operates with its own independent Board of Directors and under the administrative leadership of Principal, Gwendolyn Hinton-Freeman.
