Overview

Mission

The school has achieved the highest level of education for its enrolled students In 2011. The total enrollement was down from 45 to 42 students ranging from kindergaten to 8th grade. The decrease in enrollement was due to economy turn down affecting parents and families abilities to pay tuition.

What it reported doing in 2014

The School is still pursuing its learning objectives. The school has now about 27 students ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade. The decrease in number is due to the tough economical situation as reported previously.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 89% 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
