Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11G

“The School employees teachers as contractors instead of employees as it is a part-time job for them. The School pays the teachers an hour wage based on the number of hours taught. Since teaching is the main function of the school this will be the largest expense for the school.”

IRS990/Desc0For 2024 overall student enrollment increased by 44 percent from 199 students to 287 students. The increase was due to a large increase in classes taught for children. Children classes are now being taught in person full time which seems to have helped with the increase in enrollments. Some children and teen classes are taught online based on interest. Adult and Private lessons continue to be online and has helped attract students outside of Boulder County. With some in-person adult classes starting up again after the pandemic. Adults and Teens continue to take exams for German Language proficiency with a pass rate of 100%. Important note that by passing the Adult A2 exam, students are eligible to work in Germany. Teens who pass their exams are eligible to attend University in Germany. Classes are open to anyone and are advertised on the schools Website and Social Media. The school continues to grow as evidenced by the need to use the 990 instead of the 990EZ this year.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0To cultivate an understanding and appreciation for the German culture, events are held during the year that are meant to be fun mostly for children and parents. The school held a Maifest event, St Martins or Lantern Walk event, and Lichterfest event this year. Due to the changing demographics of our students the school changed the name of the St Nicholas event to Lichterfest to be more inclusive of those that do not celebrate Christmas. The cost increased this year over past years as the events were larger and more students attended. The school does not charge for the events but relies on donations taken during the event. Some supplies are donated as well to help reduce the costs. Donations were up this year from prior years as the School added the ability to pay with credit card at the events. We have not normally tracked the number of attendees but plan to have attendees register in advance in 2025 to help with determining the popularity of these events and the cost benefit of each event
