Academics
Why Our Students Excel
We are a K-12 charter school with 10,000+ students and 23 campus locations. We are part of the solution to a better eduction system. We empower students by fostering their innate curiosity and promoting optimum learning.
We understand that every child is on a personalized educational journey and our talented teachers work hard to incorporate a rich diversity of skills development, curriculum and extracurricular activity into each day.
Personalized Learning Plan
At Empower Academy we love that we can work with our parents, teachers, and students collaboratively on their personalized learning. Our staff meet at least three times a year with parents and students to create, and manage a personalized plan for each student.
Learner Driven
Students are motivated and primed for learning through their active collaboration on their personalized learning plans, which combine skills diagnostics, interests analysis with each child’s unique learner profile.
The learner-driven model builds young people who seek out new ideas on their own and who develop the skills to become lifelong learners.
Empower Academy
We believe relationships are the foundation of personalized learning. When students feel that they belong, they thrive. We have intentional and specific methods, including beginning each day with a community circle, to ensure that every child builds relationships with staff and peers, that they are welcomed, and they have a voice.
Flexible Environment
Our Academy’s learning environment is not just a place of safety and comfort for students, at The Empower Academy, classrooms become teachers too. Once a rich and robust student-centered space is created, students not only take ownership of their classroom, but also learn from it.
Mastery Learning
We know every student can master rigorous, grade-level content as long as we provide multiple avenues for learning, flexible pacing, and varied materials and methods. In addition, Empower Academy reinforces the power of educating the whole child by including the arts, movement, and other enriching pursuits in the mastery plan.
