Kinneret Day School Inc

Overview

Mission

We aim to educate our students to be citizens of the world, to contribute meaningfully to the jewish community, and to be prepared for the challenges they will face. We encourage children to explore creatively and to develop independently in a safe, supportive, familial environment. By maintaining an emphasis on community and partnership, we teach students to treat each other with respect, to work as a team, and to acknowledge each others strengths and abilities. By working with each child individually, we empower students to treat themselves with respect, to do their best, and to value their own strengths and abilities. Kinneret has always been a small school, which allows us to maintain an atmosphere of close connections that lead to lifelong friendships and deeply held mentoring relationships. Kinneret students are taught not only to strive to fulfill their own potentials but to recognize that, together, we can change the world for the better.

Operating model

Revenue model

Earned-program. 79% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
