Testimonials
When I walk into EIA I am greeted by students who are full of life and quick to carry my bag. I am greeted by the house parents with a ready smile, the offer of a cup of tea, and a question about student welfare. As I approach the teachers’ room, I can hear laughter and am quick to find out what is going on. This is what a school based on truly Christlike relationships, looks like. It gives me such joy to be a part of it.”
As the founder of the Stoplight Approach, I have had the privilege of watching Empower International Academy grow and develop into what I can confidently call a truly *green* school. This is not just a school that uses the Stoplight Approach in theory—it lives and breathes it. From the leadership to the staff and throughout the student body, there is a shared language, a shared vision, and a shared commitment to cultivating emotional, social, spiritual, and academic growth.
