DescriptionInstruction - Mill Springs Academy is a school for approximately 325 primary and secondary level students with various learning disabilities and difficulties. Mill Springs Academy holds dual accreditation with the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The 2013 graduating class had 26 seniors who were accepted at 24 different colleges and universities.Mill Springs Academy bases learning strategies on Comprehensive Plans developed for each student by a multidisciplinary staff. Learning strategies are generated from psycho-educational evaluations, previous school records, diagnostic skills assessment, observations, communication with other professionals involved with the student, and continued experiences with the student. Mill Springs Academy is committed to a comprehensive, holistic program design that is multifaceted to meet the needs of the "total child."Mill Springs Academy provides a carefully structured environment within a warm, supportive atmosphere. Our structural approach is an environment that involves our Community Structure, daily values groups, individualized contracts and Life Space Interview techniques. Conferences with parents are scheduled throughout the term and others are based on the immediate needs of the student as defined by the student, family or school.The Community Structure is a school wide, reality-based structure that clearly defines the responsibilities and privileges associated with each level of responsibility. The system allows the student to make fully informed choices resulting in privileges or consequences. It allows staff members to function as facilitators. Community meetings are led by the principal of each school component and involve both staff and peer feedback.The community monitors the interactions of its members and enforces the Community Structure while academic expectations and interventions are individualized. Interactive expectations are the same for all students - to respect oneself and all others of the community. When students accomplish this major goal with the help of the MSA Community, they will have acquired sound social problem-solving skills, as well as, joy and self-satisfaction in their interactions with others.The Laptops for Learning program encompasses grades 4 through 12. This program emphasizes the computer's use as a tool for learning and as an individualized intervention for learning. Because it is an intervention tool, students use their computers at home and at school. The faculty also uses laptops in the same manner, including Lower School faculty. Students in 1st through 3rd grades begin with desktops. Microsoft Outlook is used to handle e-mail, inside and outside of school. Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint are used for organizing, writing, editing and turning in assignments. The use of the computer for research on the Internet is integrated into the curriculum. This program is used for completing, maintaining and presenting challenging academic work. In addition, there is an organizational website to help families and students organize their activities.Description

Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X, Line 2:The Academy is tax-exempt under the provisions of Section 509(a), as an organization described in Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (thc "IRC"). Accordingly, only unrelated business income, as defined by Section 512(a)(1) of the IRC, is subject to Federal income tax. Thc Acadcmy's policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is beneficial to the Academy, including any related interest and penalties, when it is more likely than not the position taken by management with respect to a transaction or class of transactions will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Management believes there are no such positions as of July 31, 2013 and 2012 and, accordingly, no liability has been accrued. Generally, taxing authorities may examine a tax return for three years from the date it is filed. At July 31, 2013, tax years ended July 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 remain open for possible examination by taxing authorities.
