Overview

Mission

To operate a non-profit day school for pre-school children in a Christian environment.

St. Thomas Day School provides enrollment for families in Columbus, Georgia, emphasizing “building strong students socially, intellectually, emotionally, & physically,” and invites prospective families to join for a tour or contact the front office for information.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
