Parent / Community Member Survey
EmpowerOne Academy is a first-of-its-kind full-time boys only small group education program for overactive, impulsive or highly social youth including but not limited to ADHD students grades 6 -12, who are either home schooled or wish to be home schooled instead of attending a full-time private or public school. The low student to teacher ratio leadership-based program utilizes various innovative learning styles and approaches to address the interests and needs of students gifted with hyperactivity, impulsivity or inattention. We believe that behavior modification is what separates EmpowerOne Excellence from other traditional learning environments.
The center’s programming implements a personalized curriculum for each grade leveraging ILIA’s best practice six cornerstone framework. Students do not study traditional one-size-fits-all subjects, but rather an integrated holistic personalized curriculum that is intriguing, applied, highly interactive and faith integrated in each lesson plan and subject. We utilize the core learning goals of the Maryland State Department of Education as a general guideline for determining student outcomes. Traditional subjects are integrated with faith based principles and applications and bundled into innovative subjects. Each grade level requires the successful completion of of a set of core classes and a number of elective classes. Students engage in academics, sports, arts, STEM, faith applications, outdoor activities, field studies and community projects, leveraging our resources and those of our partners in the various domains and specializations. Class sizes are limited to six students to allow students to receive the personalized coaching based attention. EmpowerOne Academy builds on the successes and philosophy of ILIA's EmpowerOne coaching, mentoring and counseling cornerstone.
