The Empowerment Academy

About Us

What makes us unique?

The Empowerment Academy boasts a rigorous academic program that has high expectations for student learning. We currently use the Common Core State Standards to deliver high quality and rigorous instruction to students. In addition to academics, we teach our students the 6 pillars of character using the Character Counts curriculum.

Mission and Vision

At The Empowerment Academy, our scholars, families, and staff are at the center of learning. Our scholars will reach their full potential academically, socially, and creatively to compete in a global society:

All of our students will be proficient in all core content areas through Arts Integration Instruction according to Local and Statewide Assessments.

All of our students will demonstrate the pillars of character and be a citizen that contributes positively to the school and community.

All of our students will become proficient in an arts discipline that we offer at our school.
