True learning is about so much more than memorizing formulas and steps. We will focus on the underlying concepts behind the mechanics in each course as a way to more fully understand the content. Our small class sizes and applications-based curriculum allow us to tailor instruction to each student's individual interests and needs. In a traditional classroom, all students are required to work at the same pace; this does a disservice to those students who would like to work faster, or those who require additional help. We will work with students, on an individual basis, to customize their educational experience. 703107 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 26 0 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X The Organization 7193686936 1650 Telstar Drive 110 Colorado Springs CO 80920 William Frost President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Szucs Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cody Dozier Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Martha Turobiner Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 David Vollmer Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Catherine Dunham Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Cannizzaro Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Shipley Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karin McWhorter Principal and Director 40.00 X 58000 0 0 58000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 39872 87248 127120 Per Pupil Revenue 611110 920067 920067 Charges for Services 611110 59053 59053 979120 958 958 Miscellaneous Revenue 611110 7280 7280 7280 1114478 986400 0 958 66618 43303 6662 16653 73380 66042 7338 12452 11207 1245 1305 1109 196 106402 90442 15960 24817 21094 3723 141940 141940 31684 26931 4753 Other Purchased Service 381346 324144 57202 Authorizer Purchased Se 47035 39980 7055 Purchased Services 26836 22811 4025 General Supplies 24600 20910 3690 36303 35134 1169 974718 703107 254958 16653 84925 87309 270 3191 825915 316091 474168 509824 14883 17280 574246 617604 30501 4694 559344 389749 99000 589845 493443 X -37599 93161 22000 31000 -15599 124161 574246 617604 139760 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 825915 316091 509824 509824 1114478 0 1114478 0 1114478 974718 0 974718 0 974718 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 Schedule E, Part I, Line 6 Per pupil funding and federal grant funding is received through the Colorado Department of Education.
