Overview

Mission

Logos school provides a lifeline to students through a transformative, personalized therapeutic and academic program, fostering a path to hope and success.

What it reported doing in 2024

Logos school is a therapeutic and academic middle and high school program serving adolescents in grades 6-12 whose needs have not been met in traditional classrooms due to mental, emotional, and behavioral challenges. We offer comprehensive therapeutic and academic programming tailored to meet each student's individual needs, promoting personal growth and success while prioritizing family preservation and involvement. Our 6:1 student-teacher ratio results in smaller class sizes that emphasize individualized attention; each student is also assigned to one of our 13 full-time therapists to co-create goals and cultivate a future they may not have thought possible. During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, we proudly served 199 adolescents.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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 - 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.
