Tekoa Academy of Accelerated Studies S.T.E.M. School is a public, open-enrollment charter school operator based in Port Arthur, Texas, serving the Southeast Texas region. Founded in 1999 as Tekoa Charter School, Inc., the institution began as a community-supported venture housed in a donated building and later broadened its grade offerings. It has operated as a PK–12 program, with an expansion to Orange, Texas, to include Pre-K 3 through 5th grade and plans for further growth toward Houston. Within the education administration sector, the school provides families with a public-school option beyond traditional district schooling in the region. In late 2018, Tekoa Charter School Inc. filed a legal action against the City of Port Arthur regarding a demolition notice affecting its property.
