Overview
Mission
To improve the lives of students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder by providing a nurturing environment for academic, social, and personal growth.
What it reported doing in 2024
Town & Country is Northeastern Oklahoma's only private, non-profit, school for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and Autism, serving students in second through twelfth grades. Town & Country improves each student's life by advancing critical academic, social, and personal skills through individualized attention, family support and flexible curriculum enhancements. Underlying the school's approach to education is recognition of the intrinsic worth of each student as an individual. T&C believes that every child is entitled to an individualized education that promotes social and academic achievements while developing responsibility, values, and respect for self and others. Teachers honor and encourage the unique talents of each child by providing interactive instruction that stimulates curiosity, discovery, and a love for learning, helping students to reach their full academic potential to be "the best that they can be." As individual needs are unique to each student, teachers spend much of their time collaborating ideas and perfecting classroom strategies.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 75% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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.
