Overview
Mission
Pacific Oaks Academy is organized and operated exclusively for educational purposes, assisting parents in the spiritual, academic, and physical educaiton of their children kindling in students a desire to live Christian virtues so that graduates are prepared to influence their personal and professional communities. 1. Elementary Education Program Beginning September '25 Pacific Oaks Academy provides full-day academic instruction for grades TK-6. 10 students were enrolled and 6 faculty, staff, volunteers during the academic year, with 175 instructional days. Objective: to form well-rounded students who develop intellectual curiosity, moral character, and a love of truth and beauty. 2. Summer Enrichment Programs The Academy offered summer day camps on aviation and hiking to ignite curiosity, promote hands-on learning, and strengthen community. 3. Community Outreach and Parent Education POA hosted events such as the Speaker Series on education and Intl relations for parent involvement.
What it reported doing in 2024
In the year leading up to launching the first academic year, Pacific Oaks Academy provided summer camps and a speaker series so that we could provide a liberal arts education for students in grades TK-6, assisting parents in the spiritual, academic, and physical formation of their children. The school summer camps offered daily instruction over two weeks of the summer to approximately 30 children. We also offered a speaker series which reached about 75 parents. These activities set the groundwork for the school's launch which welcomed 10 students in September '25. These events garnered community involvement and helped us fulfill our mission of assisting parents. We also provided faculty development for our teachers.
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 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
