Mission
WE AIM TO ASSIST PARENTS IN DISCIPLING THEIR CHILDREN. THE RESULT OF EDUCATION SHOULD BE LOVING GOD AND LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR, WHICH CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH ACADEMICS ALONE. INSTEAD, IT MUST BE FOSTERED THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP, COMMUNITY, AND APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE. SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT KNOWLEDGE PUFFS, BUT LOVE BUILDS UP. WE MUST NURTURE BOTH IN CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. LEWIS CLARK CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS VISION IS TO CULTIVATE A SCHOOL CULTURE WHERE STUDENTS ARE FOLLOWING A BIBLICAL FRAMEWORK FOR A HEALTHY COMMUNITY: OLDER STUDENTS MENTORING YOUNGER STUDENTS, A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW PERMEATING EVERY ASPECT OF SCHOOL LIFE, DINING TOGETHER, FELLOWSHIPPING, FAMILY INVOLVEMENT, OUTREACH, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, A CULTURE WHERE GOD IS LOVED AND THOSE NEAR US ARE LOVED AS WELL.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Highest-paid independent contractors
No independent contractors reported.
Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
