Overview

Mission

Pre-K through 12 private nonpublic religious school with an educational and religious purpose.

What it reported doing in 2024

Education program: The organization provided quality education for 149 children in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 by means of a regularly scheduled curriculum administered by a regular faculty of qualified Christian teachers in a safe and healthy learning environment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 76% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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.
