Overview

Mission

As a nonprofit Preschool and Elementary schoo, we strive to provide a holistic, bilingual schooling in an environment that fosters connection, awareness, and growth.

What it reported doing in 2024

The largest program expense is the total cost to run the preschool and elementary school on a day-to-day basis within the school calendar, which includes staff, curriculum and overhead costs

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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

SUPPORTED - 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
