Our Mission

Our Mission & Vision

At The Empower Academy, our mission is to empower students by fostering their innate curiosity, engaging their families, and promoting optimal learning through the collaborative development of a personalized educational experience for every child.

As a public charter school and a school of choice in Rutherford County, we believe families deserve meaningful educational options. Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we are honored that parents entrust us with their children’s education. Everything we do begins with students and families.

Founded by parents and built on the belief that every child learns differently, Springs Public Schools understands that education is not one-size-fits-all. Each student is on a unique educational journey, and our responsibility is to provide the support, flexibility, and opportunities needed for them to thrive.

Our dedicated teachers create engaging learning experiences that nurture academic growth, creativity, critical thinking, and character development. Through personalized learning, strong family partnerships, and meaningful connections to the community, we strive to ensure every student is known, valued, challenged, and supported.

We envision a school where students are inspired to become lifelong learners, families are active partners in the educational process, and educators are empowered to meet the needs of every child.

What We Value                         

Parent Choice and Partnership
We believe families should have access to high-quality educational options and play an active role in their child’s learning journey.

Personalized Learning
Every child deserves instruction tailored to their strengths, interests, needs, and goals.

Community as the Classroom
Learning extends beyond school walls. We encourage students to connect with and learn from the world around them.

Creativity and Innovation
We nurture curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, and a love of learning in every student.

Collaboration and Shared Success
Students, families, educators, and community members work together to create meaningful educational experiences.

Relationships First
Strong relationships are the foundation of a thriving school community. We believe students learn best when they feel connected, supported, and valued.

At The Empower Academy, families are more than partners—they are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we are building a school community where students are empowered to discover their potential, pursue their passions, and achieve their dreams.
