Overview

Mission

Logos Academy is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, religious or scientific purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 2006 and subsequent amendments thereto. Specifically the purpose of Logos Academy is to provide a school for Herndons culturally diverse community. Logos Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender or national origin in the administration of its educational programs, admission policies, financial aid, or personnel policies.

What it reported doing in 2025

Logos Academy is a Christian based two way Spanish/English dual immersion preschool devoted to helping low and middle income families provide their children with a rigorous academic program at an affordable price. Logos Academy gives Latino immigrant children the opportunity to not only learn and strengthen their English language skills but also give them the opportunity to strengthen their home language skills. Our goal is to nurture childrens curiosity while focusing on developing self-esteem, communication, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Logos Academy believes that an early childhood program well aligned with an elementary program will create an integrated primary educational system that will enhance the social, emotional and academic outcomes for children

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% 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 few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
