DescriptionBUCKINGHAM BROWNE & NICHOLS SCHOOL IS A CO-EDUCATIONAL DAY SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN GRADES KINDERGARTEN THROUGH TWELVE THAT STRIVES FOR THE PURSUIT OF EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE WHILE CELEBRATING THE DIVERSITY OF ITS COMMUNITY AND FOSTERING INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY, CRITICAL THINKING AND A DEEP CONCERN AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS.Students: 987 total students: 329 Lower School; 169 Middle School; 489 Upper SchoolStudent Demographics: 482 boys; 505 girls; 26% students of colorAdmission Statistics: Approximately 900 applications for approximately 170 places.Teaching Faculty: 144 total; 83 percent have advanced degrees Financial Aid: 24% percent of the student body (235 students)College Counseling: 4 counselors available for guidanceCollege Matriculation: The Class of 2010 entered 66 different colleges and universitiesBB&N's commitment to diversity is integral to the mission and vision of the School. The different perspectives and experiences of our students define the fabric of our community. These many perspectives and experiences contribute to the growth of the individuals who call BB&N their alma mater and shape the classroom and extracurricular experiences. To have as classmates and friends people who are different from oneself, to come to truly know the background, experiences, and beliefs of a new friend, is to learn more deeply about oneself and our world. There is no more important attribute in the preparation for global citizenship. No amounts have been reflected in the FORM 990 for MANY HOURS OF contributed services FROM VOLUNTEERS. However, many individuals volunteer their time and perform a variety of tasks that assist the School with its activities. The value of this contributed time AND EFFORT IS Not reflected in the FORM 990. Each year over 300 BB&N alumni/ae, parents and friends support the School by volunteering their time. This generous support allows BB&N to accomplish many of the things that set it apart from other independent day schools. We are able to retain the most qualified and dynamic faculty, provide tremendous art and athletic programs, maintain beautiful grounds and buildings, and provide financial assistance to qualified students.Description

Part X:Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:The School accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties assessed, if any, are accrued as income tax expense. The School has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity as a tax position; however, the School has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The School is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. Federal and state income tax returns are generally open for the past three years after the date of filing the related return.
