Overview

Mission

THEO serves home educating families in North Texas to support their family goals of strong academics in a Christian environment where parents are in charge. THEO offers classes for middle & high school students, Friday Adventures & Academic Adventures for elementary students, and educational seminars for parents.

What it reported doing in 2025

THEO serves approximately 500 home educating families in North Texas and over 600 students. THEO offers students approximately 172 classes, including dual credit college classes, as well as educational seminars to help train the parents in the rigors of home education. THEO also offers summer camps to aid in the preparation of college entrance exams. The Senior Class Commencement Ceremony, facilitated by THEO, helps approximately 50-60 families each spring realize their goal of graduating their student from a successful home education. Many of the students receive honors, awards and scholarships for outstanding academic performance in local and national competitions. THEO sucessfully navigated to virtual learning at the onset of the Covid pandemic without missing a class and continues to stay ahead of health and safety concerns with continual updates to health, safety and security protocol.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 93% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
