More and more parents are enrolling their children in schools that educate students from multiple cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Why? According to a study from Columbia University the benefits of attending a school with a diverse population include enhanced creativity and motivation, deeper learning, and sharper critical thinking and problem-solving skills. At values-based, tuition free Empower College Prep (ECP) we serve K-12 students from many backgrounds on a single campus in Phoenix and see these outcomes every day.
Serving Preschoolers through High School
“The benefits of school diversity run in all directions. There is increasing evidence that diversity makes us smarter . . . Increasing numbers of young parents are coming to appreciate [this] at the K–12 level. Students’ exposure to other students who are different from themselves and the novel ideas and challenges that such exposure brings leads to improved cognitive skills.”- How Racially Diverse Schools and Classrooms Can Benefit All Students
As a public charter school, Empower College Prep offers an extraordinary educational experience that includes:
- Before and after school programming
- Music and arts enrichment
- Championship caliber competitive sports
We welcome scholars from throughout Maricopa County. Free transportation across the valley to our safe, secure K-12 campus on the I-17 and Camelback Avenue makes ECP a convenient choice for families with children in multiple grades. We even offer preschool on-site with our partner Ark of Learning.
Serving Future College Students
An emphasis on college acceptance begins in kindergarten and grows each year. We offer daily advisory and college counseling in high school as well as AP Courses, internships, certifications and dual enrollment at Phoenix College and Grand Canyon University.
90% of Empower’s graduates enroll in college. Annually ECP seniors are awarded $1-$2 million in scholarships to attend institutions of higher learning. Our graduates’ persistence rate in earning their degrees far surpasses the state average.
“Students can learn better how to navigate adulthood in an increasingly diverse society—a skill that employers value—if they attend diverse schools.” – The Century Foundation
Empower College Prep is preparing students for the future. As a movement of teachers partnering with parents, ECP is transforming educational and life opportunities for our scholars and giving them the opportunity to impact their communities, their country, and their world.
