Templo Calvario CDC

We were honored to welcome Dr. Stefan Bean from the Orange County Department of Education to Edward B. Cole, Sr. Academy (EBCA) for an inspiring site visit!
 
At EBCA, we’re more than a school — we’re a whole-family model rooted in relationships, community, and opportunity. From engaging classrooms and strong student connections to a powerful student arts performance, the visit highlighted how we’re building confidence, voice, and real impact beyond academics.
 
Through community-rooted, mission-driven work, we’re creating a multi-generational approach that supports both students and families—because when families thrive, students succeed.
 
Thank you, Dr. Bean, for your time and partnership as we continue working together to expand impact across our community!

Celebrating 10 years of impact! 🎉

This year marks the 10th Anniversary of BizWorld.org x U.S. Bank with EBC, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this incredible partnership. For a decade, BizWorld and U.S. Bank have teamed up with EBC to empower our 5th grade students with essential life and financial skills as they create and run their own companies.

Through hands-on learning, teamwork, and real-world experience, our students aren’t just learning about business; they’re building confidence, leadership, and a vision for their future.

We are so thankful for this continued partnership and can’t wait for many more years of empowering the next generation together. 💙

We are so proud to spotlight one of our incredible EBC alumni ✨

Isaac, part of our Class of 2019, continues to make us proud! Since graduating, he has served as an intern for the City of Irvine and has been accepted into the Honors College at American University. His dedication, leadership, and heart for service truly reflect what EBC is all about.

And he’s not done yet 🙌🏼 Join us at our Empowering Lives Dinner to hear Isaac share more about his journey, his accomplishments, and how he continues to give back to his community.

You won’t want to miss his story. 💛
