Our academic program included a project-based math program, lab science, diverse arts electives, literature, and social sciences. Most of these disciplines were taught in a unique interdisciplinary format that challenged students to connect academic content to real-world issues. Watershed's global programs took students to countries including Iceland, Guatemala, and China, and these programs were accessible to all students without requiring additional fees. Accessibility was also achieved by providing some financial aid to 26% of Watershed students. In 2017-2018, Watershed continued to be a force for educational innovation outside its walls. Watershed's program gained recognition by local news media, and the school provided teacher training to over 100 teachers at other schools. 1782839 true true false false false true false false false false true false false false false false true false true false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 25 0 true 41 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CO X Matt Mavromatis 3034407520 1661 Alpine Ave Boulder CO 80304 Sebastian Corradino Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Eaton Scripps Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Hullett Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marc Levinson Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Berv emeritus Member 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tracy Halgren ViceChair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Begley Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Fran Meneley Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melanie Simon Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rachel Taekla Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lindon Lewis Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Bamford Head of School 40.00 0.00 X 145110 0 0 145110 1 false false false 0 49190 157543 206733 Student Fees 611600 265780 265780 Tuition 611600 2207000 2207000 2472780 5969 5969 0 0 0 0 97269 49190 58841 38428 38428 0 0 Misc Revenue 611600 12532 12532 12532 2736442 2485312 44397 0 352205 352205 0 0 145110 145110 0 1086380 698325 388055 49725 31963 17762 72628 46685 25943 99887 64207 35680 44726 44726 8106 8106 7000 7000 0 0 0 0 24735 24735 63471 40799 22672 0 0 227728 146384 81344 0 0 0 0 0 50344 50344 63691 40941 22750 Community Trip Programs 197289 197289 Educational Programs 91119 91119 Professional Development 32412 32412 Equipment Expenses 18162 18162 19358 4416 14942 2654076 1782839 871237 0 1157508 1265068 0 20000 0 33522 58940 0 0 0 0 42405 35321 554640 272630 240802 282010 57441 59474 0 0 0 10107 10107 1561785 1710920 67983 35844 1096755 1195663 1164738 1231507 X 310999 388526 86048 90887 397047 479413 1561785 1710920 82366 X false true X true false X 79624 true true 156035 30931 125104 128091 47379 80712 270514 194320 76194 282010 2438239 54002 54002 2384237 352205 352205 2736442 2360712 58841 58841 2301871 352205 352205 2654076 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Fundraising expenses $58841 Restricted Contributions $-4839 Part XI, Line 4b: Other revenue amounts included on 990 but not included in F/S Tuition assistance $352205 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Fundraising expenses $58841 Part XII, Line 4b: Other revenue amounts included on 990 but not included in F/S Tuition assistance $352205 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized Schedule E, Line 4 - Explanation of Records and Materials Not Maintained Schedule E, Line 5 - Explanation of Organization Discrimination by Race X X X X X X false ETFL Conference 62401 62401 35484 Dinner & Auction 58790 49190 9600 5653 1500 4266 2 25268 25268 11938 146459 49190 97269 5653 1500 51688 58841 38428 false 0 0 Financial Assistance 26 352205 Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et One trustee works as a sub-contractor within another trustee's organization.
