Overview
Mission
To provide a private christian school for families that will cultivate both academic and spiritual maturity in their children.
What it reported doing in 2024
The garden kingdom mastery academy opened its doors in the fall of 2017 and has served 84 students since its inception. The organization embraces the mastery concept and individualizes education for each student. While grade leveling is used to help guide mastery of curricula and group placements, students are allowed to move through the mastery of concepts at their own pace and are not bound by grade levels. Instead, students progress through curriculum by mastering concepts at a high standard of 90 to 100% before continuing with the next step in their curricula. Both individual and group instruction is provided to students along the way. The high standard of achievement motivates students and provides a sense of accomplishment when mastery is reached. For the fiscal year ending 8/31/2025, the organization served 8 students.
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 85% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
