Mission and programs · 2023
Mission

Activities or mission (Part I)
TO PROVIDE A STUDENT-CENTERED PROGRAM DEDICATED TO THE EDUCATIONAL WELL-BEING OF THEIR STUDENTS.
-
SANTIAGO OPERATES ITS CHARTER SCHOOL UNDER THE BELIEF THAT ADOLESCENTS DESERVE A QUALITY CURRICULUM DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM AND THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A TIME FOR EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY FOR INTERESTS. WHILE OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOLS STATE-WIDE ARE CUTTING THEIR EXPLORATORY PROGRAMS, SANTIAGO CONTINUES TO WORK SO THAT THESE INVALUABLE CLASSES REMAIN A PART OF THE CURRICULUM. AS A RESULT, EACH STUDENT AT SANTIAGO HAS THE OPTION OF CHOOSING TWO PER YEAR OF THE FOLLOWING ELECTIVES: ART, VOCAL MUSIC, DRAMA, FOREIGN LANGUAGE, INDUSTRIAL ARTS, HOME ECONOMICS, BAND, ORCHESTRA, SPEECH, READING, AND MUSICAL THEATER. ALL OF THE ELECTIVE TEACHERS HAVE RECEIVED TRAINING IN THE AREAS OF READING AND WRITING, AND THEY INCORPORATE THESE LESSONS INTO THEIR PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF SANTIAGO'S STANDARDS-BASED CURRICULUM.

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.
