What it reported doing in 2025

Students aged 3 to 18 years old were immersed in polish language lessons focused on oral commmunication, reading, writing, grammar, as well as historical and cultural programs. The school conducted lessons in both spring and fall semesters. The school provided many enrichment opportunities throughout the year to enhance cultural learning and exchange including field trips, guest speakers, and special events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
