Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to provide educational alternatives to students with asd and related disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2025

The previous school year ended in june of 2025 with the new school year beginning in the fall of 2025. We began using a curriculum to support the students within our two class-type learners. During the summer, a remedial educational time was held for the returning students to reinforce their curriculum from the previous school year and ensure retention. This was a success as our students began the school year without losing acquired skills.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 68% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
