You Are Unique and So Is ECP

By June 25, 2025No Comments3 min read

At Empower College Prep (ECP), the K-12th grade tuition-free public charter school centrally located in Phoenix, we believe every child is unique. Our values-based, academically rigorous education empowers each individual to find their unique purpose and maximize their impact in the world.

We Value Every Scholar

Research confirms that learning core values provides students with a sense of purpose. Our values-based education contributes to a positive school culture that not only enhances learning but leads to personal growth.

“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 

ECP’s 7 Core Values are

  • Respect and Humility
  • Integrity
  • Compassion and Empathy
  • Optimism and Hope
  • Stewardship and Restoration
  • Wisdom and Truth
  • Perseverance and Excellence

 

We Celebrate Each Scholar

At ECP we celebrate our scholars’ accomplishments. It’s a major motivator that builds confidence for the whole class and leads to our extraordinarily high rate of students enrolling in college.

More than 90% of our seniors enroll in college the Fall following graduation every year. Many are first-generation college students who may have considered higher education unaffordable.

More than $2 million in scholarships and financial aid

is awarded to each ECP graduating class

each year.

 

We Prepare Each Scholar for the Future

To find their unique purpose, ECP offers a one-of-a-kind Career Pathways program that prepares scholars with foundational skills and certifications in five of the most in-demand professional fields, according to the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
