Overview

Mission

Westhampton Day School provides a Christian environment that is nurturing, safe, mutually respectful, and conducive to learning. Our goal is to create a stimulating and hands-on learning experience for each individual child which promotes intellectual, physical, and social/emotional development.

What it reported doing in 2024

Westhampton day school provides full-day curriculum for 160 students. Our youngest learners develop critical thinking skills, utilizing the HighScope Plan-Do-Review format. Our Pre-Kindergarten students use nonfiction as a foundation in the Houghton Mifflin Curriculum and enjoy small group learning in a 1 to 4 ratio. Our Kindergarten students merge Wilson Language and Go Math with student choice author study, scientific exploration, and extended community and cultural discussions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 99% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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.
