Middle School Reading
School Year 2021-2022
Empower College Prep began in 2012 with a commitment to be a movement of teachers partnering with parents to transform the educational and life opportunities of their children; and to empower these children to transform their community, their country and their world.
In 2020, we sent our first graduating class of students to college, expanded to serve grades K-2, and welcomed more than 800 students onto a new, $20 million campus on the I-17 just north of Camelback.
The key to our success is highly effective, highly committed teachers who love both their content and their students.
If you would like to be a part of empowering scholars to succeed in college, solve real-world problems, and maximize their impact in the world, apply to join the Empower Team.
In addition to full-time positions, part-time options are available for highly effective teachers wishing to return to the workforce.
