Income generated from activities unrelated to the Schools exempt purposes is subject to tax under Code Section 511. The School had no unrelated business income for the year ended August 31, 2025.Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax in the accompanying financialstatements.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Schools tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the School has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the School, and has concluded that as of August 31, 2025, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false true false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized Schedule E, Line 4 - Explanation of Records and Materials Not Maintained Schedule E, Line 5 - Explanation of Organization Discrimination by Race X 1 35119 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The independent audit provides the basis for the form 990 financials and is reviewed by the board of directors upon adoption.
