DescriptionInstruction - Mill Springs Academy is a school for approximately 320 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 2011 graduating class had 40 seniors who were accepted at 38 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 Intended Use of Endowment Funds:Part V, Line 4:The main purpose of the Academy's endowment funds is to provide scholarships and financial aid for students.
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:The Academy adopted the guidance related to accounting for uncertainties in income taxes during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken. Management does not believe the Academy has any significant tax uncertainties that were affected by this change and accordingly no adjustment was made as a result of this implementation. Generally, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") may examine a tax return for three years from the date it is filed. At July 31, 2011, tax years ended July 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 remain open for possible examination by the IRS.
