THE SCHOOL EMBRACES A POSITIVE, CHILD-CENTERED APPROACH TO EDUCATION THAT STRIVES TO FULLY DEVELOP THE POTENTIAL OF EACH STUDENT, INTELLECTUALLY, SOCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND PHYSICALLY. OUR HIGH ACADEMIC AND ETHICAL STANDARDS ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR LEARNING AND THEIR BEHAVIOR. OUR CURRICULUM IS DESIGNED TO ENGAGE STUDENTS IN A HIGHLY DIFFERENTIATED, PROJECT-BASED, ACTIVE LEARNING CURRICULUM THAT CHALLENGES ALL STUDENTS TO GROW. WE PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EACH CHILD IS ABLE TO EXPERIENCE SUCCESS, IS CONFIDENT IN TAKING INTELLECTUAL RISKS, WHERE INDIVIDUALS FEEL VALUED IN THEIR DIFFERENCES AND VALUE THE DIFFERENCES IN OTHERS. OUR GOAL IS TO INSTILL IN OUR STUDENTS A LOVE OF LEARNING AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF OUR WORLD, AND TO PROVIDE FOR OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF AN ENVIRONMENT OF COLLEGIALITY AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH. THE SCHOOL RECOGNIZES THAT CHILDREN HAVE DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES AND LEARN AT DIFFERENT RATES. OUR PROGRAM IS BUILT FROM THE BEST PRACTICES DERIVED FROM THE PROGRESSIVE, DEVELOPMENTAL AND TRADITIONAL EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHIES, AND EMPLOYS A VARIETY OF EXPERIENTIAL AGE-APPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS' NEEDS, INVITE THEIR CREATIVITY AND CHALLENGE THEIR GROWTH. WE STRIVE TO BE A COMMUNITY OF LIFELONG LEARNERS, WHERE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, CREATIVITY, SENSE OF HUMOR, INDEPENDENCE, SELF-DISCIPLINE AND HIGH MORAL STANDARDS ARE VALUED. 29526547 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 105 0 1 187 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 24 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 CA X JOON H LEE 3105748650 5401 BEETHOVEN ST LOS ANGELES CA 90066 BRADLEY ZACUTO HEAD OF SCHOOL 40.00 X 585981 0 41109 JOON LEE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 40.00 X 275641 0 17284 HEIDI REIMANN ASSISTANT HEAD OF SCHOOL 40.00 X 184638 0 19471 BRADLEY WRIGHT DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY 40.00 X 158554 0 20276 KELLY MASSEY DIRECTOR OF PRESCHOOL 40.00 X 151616 0 17322 DOMINICA JOHNSON DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS 40.00 X 145457 0 13457 DAYNA HOLLINS DIRECTOR OF ADMISSION 40.00 X 139535 0 18268 JANELVA WILLIAMS BOARD CHAIR(THROUGH 06/2025) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SABA HOPKINS VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER RESNIK SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL RAINEY TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LYDIA AHN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMBER ANDERSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 TRISHA BURDICK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALEX BROOK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID CHARLTON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOEL CISNEROS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LARA CLARKE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHRYN CRUMP TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LES FROST TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER HASSLER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE HENRY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SABA HOPKINS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER HOUSE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHELBY JORDAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARSAM KASRAVI TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID KIMBALL TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARY KLEINMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 BEN MARCUS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE SCHUCKMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 WHITNEY SCHWARTZ TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 1641422 0 147187 143 0 1 0 HANSON BRIDGETT LLP 425 MARKET ST 26TH FLOOR SAN FRANCISCO CA 94105 LEGAL & CONSULTING SERVICE 160318 ALSTON & BIRD LLP PO BOX 933124 ATLANTA GA 31193 LEGAL & CONSULTING SERVICE 112152 2 97140 3570094 125195 3667234 TUITION 611710 26113555 26113555 DAYCARE REVENUE 611710 946054 946054 SUMMER SCHOOL 611710 345679 345679 27405288 2208929 2208929 2284755 0 2284755 2284755 2284755 13545133 13545133 0 200520 97140 160265 40255 40255 BUS TRANSPORTATION 900099 36150 36150 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 28105 28105 64255 35670716 27405288 0 4598194 3654379 3654379 942243 235561 659570 47112 12969038 10808064 1591399 569575 637625 528135 81453 28037 1428678 1149017 216482 63179 991976 789776 158250 43950 46591 29316 16095 1180 77933 49037 26923 1973 704451 443258 243358 17835 221220 139197 76422 5601 906737 412768 476439 17530 5428191 4342552 814229 271410 5544088 4435271 831613 277204 1766984 1379029 298718 89237 210675 132562 72779 5334 CURRICULUM 722534 722534 0 0 BOOKS AND CLASSROOM 309755 167666 140170 1919 FOOD AND BEVERAGE 240305 0 223349 16956 SUMMER SCHOOL 108425 108425 0 0 185751 172645 13106 37097579 29526547 6099894 1471138 806 2352 46390090 47243622 889458 1783480 438504 246760 216042 185656 76579511 12761983 60845659 63817528 4208377 5442909 11810760 9520154 124799696 128242461 983063 3781386 12256516 16353859 88279296 88322493 82349 0 11625212 9274616 113226436 117732354 X 10488089 7181791 1085171 3328316 11573260 10510107 124799696 128242461 -1426863 363710 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X 0 5825314 300054 498349 6623717 4844919 488457 491938 5825314 3957642 661955 225322 4844919 1711105 2400272 -153735 3957642 1330853 93075 287177 1711105 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0 0 32265790 32265790 17984210 524539 17459671 14818888 7596493 7222395 6970173 4640951 2329222 4540450 4540450 63817528 ART DONATION 426730 RIGHT OF USE ASSETS 8857936 SECURITY DEPOSITS 235488 9520154 LEASE LIABILITY 9274616 9274616 X 32380047 363710 -3654379 -3290669 35670716 0 35670716 33443200 0 33443200 3654379 3654379 37097579 PART V, LINE 4: THE SCHOOL'S ENDOWMENT WAS ESTABLISHED TO ASSURE THE LONG TERM FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY AND PRESERVATION OF THE CORE VALUES OF THE SCHOOL FOR GENERATIONS TO COME BY DIRECTLY SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL'S COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING CORE PILLAR OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION, ATTRACTING AND RETAINING TIER-ONE EDUCATORS, SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL'S COMMITMENT TO A DIVERSE FACULTY, PRESERVING AND ENHANCING DYNAMIC CAMPUS FACILITIES AND THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF TRI-CAMPUS COMPLEX, AND SUSTAINING FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES.
