Overview

Mission

NorthPark Presbyterian Day School strives to provide young children opportunities to grow physically emotionally spiritually and to develop a sense of self-worth within the context of the Christian faith. The school is financially self-supporting and serves boys and girls 18 months through pre-kindergarten.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 92% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

STRONG - 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.
