Overview

Mission

Our mission is to produce academically well-prepared students who model the character of Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2024

The school provided approximately 260 students in grades pre-k through 12 with a quality education based in a charitable and religious environment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
