Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Our mission is to provide an environment that nurtures total development while guiding students toward the joy of lifelong learning.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Provide project-based and real learning opportunities for preschool through eighth grade.

  • Bergman Academy empowers, supports, and inspires students to reach high. Reimagining the possibilities of education, our classrooms look intentionally different. Guided by our key values, lessons are challenging, yet joyful, as we encourage all children to grow as curious, creative, and ethically minded learners.We see each child as a unique learner with an individual timing of growth. Differentiated guided instruction in small classrooms allows teachers to respond to individual learning styles. Accelerated students can be challenged while remaining with their peers and participating in advanced enrichment projects. (Continued on Schedule O)We keep our classes intentionally small to benefit our learners. Small student-to-teacher ratios (7:1 preschool, 9:1 pre-kindergarten and 16:1 kindergarten-eighth grade) allow our teachers to build personal relationships with all students. We want children to love school and be excited about learning each day. From pond studies in the park, to geocaching in the woods, to visiting local cultural and educational treasures like the Civic Center and the Historical Society, students experience engaging project-based and experiential learning opportunities.

    Expenses $4,137,608 · Grants $178,775 · Revenue $3,976,589

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
