IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The School's endowments consist of individual funds established for a variety of purposes.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The School evaluates all significant tax positions as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As of June 30, 2016, the School does not believe that it has taken any positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next year. The School is no longer subject to audits by the applicable taxing authorities for the period prior to 2013.
