Giving students the knowledge and skills to pursue their passions, interests, and future
The Empower Academy at Oshkosh West High School is for 9th and 10th grade students who benefit from a learning style that gives them ownership of their learning.
Students complete projects and engage in learning experiences that give them the chance to apply their skills to personally relevant and real-world situations. Students learn how to think critically, solve problems, work in teams, and make presentations. These are skills that students need to be successful now and in the future.
Empower Academy coursework takes place during a multi-period morning block in which students participate in interdisciplinary learning with the Empower faculty, consisting of an English, Science, Math, Social Studies, and Special Education teacher. Students also participate in "Empower Hour," which provides a small group setting for students to receive additional help on their project work. In the afternoon, students take elective courses following the normal OWHS class schedule.
