Welcome to EYC Academy
Empowering Students Through One-to-One Teaching
Who We Are
Empowering Youth and Communities Inc., a non-profit 501c3 private agency, opened its doors in 2018 as EYC Academy of St Louis to bring outstanding one-to-one private education to 6th through 12th grade students, as an approved private agency with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. We also work with college students and adult learners. We provide a unique one-teacher, one-student approach for those seeking a more attentive, therapeutic, alternative educational environment.
Our Approach
We use a competency-based approach in our educational programs which allows students to not only demonstrate mastery of the various academic concepts, but to also be able to apply these skills as they advance through their curriculum at their own pace to prepare for college, career, entrepreneurial or military options.

Educational Therapies & Counseling
EYC EYC Academy’s well-rounded approach blends academics with therapeutics. Examples include our PAWS for Reading program, which allows students to read aloud to a therapy dog to improve their reading and communication skills in a fun and positive environment, as well as therapeutic art classes using a choice-based curriculum.
School Advocacy
Our personalized educational consulting and advocacy services are helpful for parents who aren’t sure of exactly what their children’s needs are or how to address them in school. We will meet with parents to help them prepare for school meetings by coaching them with the right questions to ask educational teams.
Academic and Cognitive Testing Services
When students struggle in school, it’s important to find out why. Aided by a professional school psychologist and an educational examiner, we provide prompt, formal assessments which can be used to substantiate gifted learners, as well as to uncover a learning disability such as ADD, ADHD, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) and others.
Private Tutoring
Our one-to-one approach extends to private tutoring services outside of your child’s regular educational schedule. Our tutors work to build rapport and instill confidence in students, focusing on their individual needs in all content areas. Tutoring can be held at the site or with a live teacher online in our virtual classroom.
Test Prep & College Readiness
We offer professional test preparation services for standardized tests and admissions exams. Our individualized approach helps to build the skills, confidence and motivation students need to achieve success, no matter what their post-graduation plans.
Social Skills Program
Using both formal and informal assessments, we work to design individualized programs for students who have difficulty with language, communication, and social interaction, to maximize their potential.
Home School Partnership
EYC Academy partners with homeschooling families, as well as those who are transitioning out of a homeschool setting to ensure maximum success. Most of EYC Academy instruction is done in a one-to-one setting or small groups for collaborative learning.
