Tuition-free, values-based Empower College Prep (ECP) was founded in 2012 to prepare scholars to succeed in college, solve real-world problems, and maximize their impact in the world. We do this by providing an academically rigorous education for K-12 students and focusing on seven core values that empower children to discover and develop their unique gifts and maximize their full human potential.
Teaching Core Values Impacts Learning
A values-based education contributes to a positive classroom culture where every scholar feels valued. Research confirms that learning core values provides students with a sense of purpose. This not only enhances learning; it leads to personal growth.
At Empower our scholars, our teachers, and our staff all live out 7 core values:
- Respect and Humility
- Integrity
- Compassion and Empathy
- Optimism and Hope
- Stewardship and Restoration
- Wisdom and Truth
- Perseverance and Excellence
“We have a very strong culture at Empower College Prep. There’s a family-like feel here. We’re doing something meaningful and transformational. That feels really, really good.” – Brian Holman, Founder + Executive Director
Values-Based Education Prepares Scholars for the Future
These seven core values are among the skills identified as essential in the 21st century workplace. From their first day of Kindergarten our scholars are developing a vision for their future in college and beyond. Our emphasis on a values-based education is inspiring them to attain their goals.
“The biggest lesson I will take from Empower is that I am valuable, and I was put on this earth for a purpose. And maybe that’s not curing cancer, but in some way, I will change my world.” – Ajanae Davis, ECP graduate
Empower College Prep is enrolling for the 2024-25 school year. Schedule a tour now of our K-12 campus and see how a values-based education can be life-changing.
