Our History
Educational Enterprises, Inc. (EEI) Schools began in 2002 with the birth of the first HOPE Christian School. HOPE Christian Schools grew from one school of roughly 50 students to a network of three schools serving 500 students by 2005. HOPE then slowed its growth in quantity for three years enabling exclusive focus on growth in quality to strengthen the schools and prepare for the future. EAGLE College Prep School opened in Phoenix in 2008 serving 150 students. With its rapid growth and huge academic success, Educational Enterprises, Inc. opened a second school, EAGLE College Prep: Harmony, in Fall 2011 serving approximately 125 students.
Since 2008, our networks of schools has grown from roughly 475 to 1,300 students in three years.
In 2010, EEI Compass Education Partners launched Grace Adventures in Phoenix, Arizona. Grace Adventures is a Christian day care and pre-school which operates on the same facilities as EAGLE College Prep. Grace Adventures currently serves roughly 150 children with before and after school care as well as pre-school.
Our Future
EEI Schools will continue to expand adding students, schools and regions. By adding new schools to our networks and expanding to new regions in the US, Educational Enterprises, Inc. hopes to increase school enrollments to nearly 4,500 by 2015. See our growth chart.
Compass Education Partners will expand its current programs and is seeking additional partnerships and programs which will benefit the children and families nurtured on our Compass Centers. Our plan is to finance, construct and mange over $75 million in facilities over the next five years.
