Overview

Mission

Empowering struggling students to become contributing members of their communities through academics, job training, and faith-based character education.

What it reported doing in 2024

The crossing school of business & entrepreneurship provides struggling students with an opportunity to earn credits toward a diploma utilizing a self-paced, online curriculum. We employ licensed, certified teachers who provide assistance to students to keep them engaged and focused. In addition, we provided students the opportunity to enhance both technical and employability skills through our job training program. Our goal is that when students graduate they will possess skills which make them attractive candidates to the workforce at large in their communities. The job training program includes individual internships; work teams; and student led school-based enterprises at both our campuses and our manufacturing-based satellite locations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
