Overview

Mission

The purpose is to nurture the hearts and minds of its students, preparing them to be compassionate and informed global citizens. Through the Global cultures and religiousstudies program, children learn that despite their differences, they share common values.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization has done remarkably well over the year with the implementing of artificial intelligence for research and to enable the children to get acclimatized with the new technology which is fast becoming inevitable in the school arena.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
