Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Canopy Life International's (the Organization") purpose is to open schools abroad with a particular focus on innovation and leadership. The mission is to adopt a curriculum that focuses on building a country's next generation of leaders. We do this through quality education, intentional relationships and environments that spark the imagination. Specifically, we are integrating design thinking into the national Kenyan curriculum, adjusting the teaching model to promote critical thinking amongst the students, and exposing them to the arts and other worldview experiences otherwise unreachable to students of their economic position. The Organization is also a Christian organization, standing firmly on the values of faith, family and Jesus Christ to guide students into strong character and purpose.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI

The organization is in the process of developing a written whistleblower policy, a written document retention and destruction policy, and formal procedures for determining compensation, which are to be finalized in 2019.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

The board of directors will review and approve the form 990 prior to filing.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person: 1) has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, 2) has read and understands the policy, 3) has agreed to comply with the policy, and 4) understands the organization is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. To ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeapordize its tax- exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects: 1) whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining, 2) whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to the organization's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction.

THE FIRST COUNTRY IN WHICH SUCH A SCHOOL WILL BE OPENED IS KENYA. THE MISSION IS TO ADOPT A CURRICULUM THAT FOCUSES ON BUILDING A COUNTRY'S NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS. WE DO THIS THROUGH QUALITY EDUCATION, INTENTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND ENVIRONMENTS THAT SPARK THE IMAGINATION. SPECIFICALLY, WE ARE INTEGRATING DESIGN THINKING (STANFORD UNIVERSITY) INTO THE NATIONAL KENYAN CURRICULUM, ADJUSTING THE TEACHING MODEL TO PROMOTE CRITICAL THINKING AMONGST THE STUDENTS, AND EXPOSING THEM TO THE ARTS AND OTHER WORLDVIEW EXPERIENCES OTHERWISE UNREACHABLE TO STUDENTS OF THEIR ECONOMIC POSITION. WE ARE ALSO A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, STANDING FIRMLY ON THE VALUES OF FAITH, FAMILY AND JESUS CHRIST TO GUIDE OUR STUDENTS INTO STRONG CHARACTER AND PURPOSE.
