THE SCHOOL PROVIDES TUITION FREE EDUCATION FOR PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGTHTH GRADE STUDENTS. THE SCHOOL'S MISSION IS TO SHAPE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF STUDENTS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH AN ACADEMICALLY RIGOROUS CONTENT RICH CURRICULUM IN AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH CHARACTER IS MODELED AND PROMOTED, AND A COMMUNITY WHICH BUILDS TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS. THE SCHOOL SERVED APPROXIMATELY 773 STUDENTS DURING THE CURRENT YEAR. 0 0 11917355 179620 EDUCATION SERVICES - THE HOPE COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL OPENED IN THE FALL OF 2005 WITH 101 PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADERS AND GREW TO THE PRESENT ENROLLMENT OF 773 STUDENTS WITH GRADES PRE-KINDERGARTEN TO EIGHT. THE CHARTER SCHOOL PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH AN INTEGRATED EDUCATIONAL APPROACH THAT PLACES A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON THE ARTS, MUSIC, AND LITERATURE, IN ADDITION TO THE CORE SUBJECTS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY COVERED. THE SCHOOL WORKS TO NURTURE THE CHARACTER OF EACH STUDENT THROUGH A STAFF THAT TEACHES AND MODELS EXCELLENCE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHARACTER-FORMING RITUALS AND TRADITIONS. THE STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY BY WORKING ALONGSIDE PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN PURSUIT OF OUR MISSION. THE FORMATION OF A STRONG COMMUNITY BEGINS WITH THE WAY WE STRUCTURE THE SCHOOL INTO SMALLER COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION TO PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR AGES THREE AND FOUR, THE SCHOOL HAS A PRIMARY ACADEMY (PK-2), INTERMEDIATE ACADEMY (3-5), AND PREP ACADEMY (6-8). THESE SMALLER COMMUNITIES ENABLE TEACHERS TO BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS AND WORK CLOSELY WITH FELLOW STAFF MEMBERS. THE SCHOOL DAY BEGINS WITH AN EARLY RISER PROGRAM FROM 7-7:50 AM. BREAKFAST IS ALSO AVAILABLE DURING THIS TIME FOR FAMILIES THAT CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE. CLASSES RUN FROM 8:00 AM - 3:30PM. FOLLOWING THE ACADEMIC DAY, STUDENTS MAY PARTICIPATE IN AN EXTENDED DAY PROGRAM, WHICH INCLUDES ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPLEMENT THE LESSONS LEARNED DURING THE DAY. THE SCHOOL ALSO OFFERS TUTORING TO ASSIST STUDENTS THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. ALL HOPE COMMUNITY STUDENTS WEAR SCHOOL UNIFORMS. THE SCHOOL HAS ADOPTED A YEAR-ROUND CALENDAR DIVIDING THE YEAR INTO FOUR 9-WEEK QUARTERS SEPARATED BY TWO INTERSESSION PERIODS (TWO WEEKS IN THE FALL AND TWO WEEKS IN THE SPRING). DURING INTERSESSION, STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO INTEGRATED PROGRAMS THAT DELVE MORE DEEPLY INTO CONCEPTS LEARNED IN THE CLASSROOM. THIS CALENDAR FORMAT IS PARTICULARLY HELPFUL IN ENHANCING STUDENTS RETENTION OF THE CURRICULUM WHILE CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENRICHMENT AND REINFORCEMENT. HOPE COMMUNITY BELIEVES THAT PARENTS HAVE THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN AND IT IS THE SCHOOL'S ROLE TO WORK ALONGSIDE PARENTS AND SUPPORT THEM IN THIS TASK. HOPE COMMUNITY ASKS PARENTS TO SIGN A COVENANT AGREEMENT WITH THE SCHOOL ACCEPTING THESE RESPONSIBILITIES AND COMMITING TO WORK WITH US TO FULFILL OUR MISSION. HOPE HAS ALSO FORMED A PARENT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP TEAM TO GIVE PARENTS AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE DAILY DECISIONS OF THE SCHOOL. 11917355 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 45 0 1 163 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 2028327370 2917 8TH STREET NE WASHINGTON DC 20017 JAMES KEMP 2.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN WELCH 2.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER GORENSTEIN 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANDRE FLEMING 2.00 X 0 0 0 RUBEN GONZALEZ 2.00 X 0 0 0 TARA WILLIAMS 2.00 X 0 0 0 AMEET PUROHIT 2.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES SPEYER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHLOE MARSHALL 45.00 X 105982 0 8196 NIYEKA WILSON 45.00 X 98283 0 5779 204265 0 13975 1 0 0 0 IMAGINE SCHOOLS DC REGIONAL OFFICE 601 7TH STREET STE 202 LAUREL MD 20707 STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF IMAGINE SCHOOLS 1804077 SCHOOL HOUSE FINANCE 1005 N GLEBE RD STE 610 ARLINGTON VA 22201 SCHOOL BUILDING OWNER 673881 REVOLUTION FOODS 6219 COLUMBIA PARK RD HYATTSVILLE MD 20785 FOOD CONTRACTOR 456499 BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD PO BOX 55391 DETROIT MI 48255 HEALTH INSURANCE PROVIDER 398602 PSYCHOLOGICAL GROUP OF WASHINGTON 1707 L ST NW SUITE 220 WASHINGTON DC 20036 OTPT SERVICES 354690 5 14605946 14605946 OTHER REVENUE 900099 179620 179620 179620 14785566 179620 0 0 218241 196194 22047 5672314 5477593 194721 74069 74069 630436 630436 487368 487368 1597553 1597553 28727 28727 23382 23382 933249 861892 71357 35132 35132 206050 206050 33047 33047 3015894 3015894 10991 10991 184802 184802 44604 44604 EARLY READING FIRST 344446 344446 CLASSROOM SUPPLIES 71040 71040 303797 243797 60000 13915142 11917355 1997787 0 808215 1809410 891108 1075511 92734 126364 680579 582682 90409 97897 1882466 3109182 1214095 709327 61778 1546854 2469692 2822727 3179019 X -940261 -69837 -940261 -69837 1882466 3109182 870424 0 X X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X 6965 1634 5331 284523 191957 92566 389091 389091 0 97897 DUE TO AFFILIATED PARTY 2469692 2469692 14785566 13915142 870424 870424 14785566 0 14785566 0 14785566 13915142 0 13915142 0 13915142 DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X: FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION 740 (ASC 740), INCOME TAXES, ESTABLISHES GUIDELINES FOR RECOGNIZING, MEASURING, AND DISCLOSING TAX RETURN POSITIONS IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
