Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Income taxes the school is a tax-exempt organization pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Although the school was granted income tax exemption by the internal revenue service, such exemption does not apply to "unrelated business taxable income". There was no unrelated business taxable income during the year. The school files information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction, which are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before june 30, 2018. Management believes that all positions taken on such returns are supportable.”

IRS990/Desc0PATHFINDER SCHOOL PROVIDES A VIGOROUS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN IN GRADES PRE-K THROUGH THE EIGHTH GRADE. 133 STUDENTS WERE ENROLLED. ORDINARILY, PATHFINDER ALSO HOSTS A VERY POPULAR SUMMER DAY CAMP PROGRAM, WHICH, DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, WAS SUSPENDED DURING THE SUMMER OF 2020.WHILE THE 2020-2021 ACADEMIC YEAR WAS CHALLENGING FOR THE SCHOOL PROGRAM, PATHFINDER WAS ABLE TO OFFER IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION BY IMPLEMENTING RIGOROUS SANITIZING PROCEDURES, OUTDOOR CLASSROOMS, MASKING FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF AND QUARANTINE PROTOCOLS. PARENTS WERE EAGER TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO ATTEND SCHOOL IN PERSON AND ENROLLMENT GREW THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
