The Texas Empowerment Academy has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success since its inception in August of 1998.Opened as a new educational institution with no history, the Academy has established itself as a superior educational choice for families. Many of its students have not faired well in traditional public schools for a variety of reasons including but not limited to boredom, lack of attention, behavior issues, large class sizes, cultural insensitivity, chaotic environments, uninspired curriculums, unmotivated teachers, family problems as well as pedagogical styles that are out of touch with their needs. However, students benefit from the creative and enthusiastic environment offered by TxEA.

The academy offers students a highly personal environment where each and every child is valued and allowed to prosper. The small classes and small school setting allows faculty and staff to meet the academic and social needs of all students. The high academic standards have allowed students to have a renewed sense of success and actualize their potential. This is accomplished with students regardless of their social, economic, racial or academic background. In fact the majority of these students have been previously labeled “A-Risk” by traditional public schools. Such successes have had the effect of reinvigorating whole families and establishing hope for the future. Our philosophy holds each and every member of our institution accountable and nurtures a sense of communalism, cooperation and community.

The Texas Empowerment Academy is clearly establishing itself as a serious alternative for meeting and exceeding the educational needs for Central Texas residents. The quality of its services and mission to collaborate with other schools, non-profits and private business entities promotes the acquisition of knowledge and skills for the benefit of the community. The future is bright and if the question is asked, how are the children? We will truly be able to say the children exceptional!

Sincerely,

David Nowlin
