Mission

My City School is an experience-based learning environment for middle school children for mild to moderate LD students who thrive in an environment that serves their kinesthetic, multi- sensory learning styles con't on Sch O

  • We reimagined education. We broke the mold of the conventional educational model, found a method to provide an individualized approach, and addressed foundational gaps while accessing grade-level content, all within a classroom setting. We redefined the whole child, created a safe space to learn differently, highlighted the significance of each student's natural approach to learning, identified and removed roadblocks, and created micro scaffolding needed to access grade-level content while offering stretch work for strength subjects. This, combined with our STEAM program that emphasizes eco-stewardship, has proved what we knew all along, that kids with learning differences can outperform expectations, and thrive in Gen Ed and accelerated programs. Primary accomplishments: We have watched our students transition successfully into public and private high schools such as Drew, Lowell, Riordan, SOTA, Mid Peninsula High School, Marin School of the Arts, The Dunn School, and more. We consistently hear from parents about how our students advocate for their college of choice and are making great career path decisions. Some specific accomplishments: a Served and graduated over 40 students directly in our program b Graduates move on to private and public high schools and remain in general education classes c Graduates are offered AP coursework for their strength subjects d Graduates graduate high school with diplomas and move on to higher education Alumni Accomplishments: a 3-year students are leaders in high school b Graduates are receiving awards such as National Scholastic Achievement Awards, Merit Scholarship awards, and more c Graduates are offered scholarships in college d 3-year students who enter with an IEP leave with a 504 * Non-Profit Accomplishments in changing education -Teaching and training others over the past 10 years a Summer Bridge program - train other teachers to do remediation for students during the summer b Summer Bridge program serves students with LD's and addresses missing foundational gaps in learning c Supported and provided free workshops to over 400 parents d Provided Teacher and learning specialist training to over 300 teachers Partnered with other schools and provided educational training workshops for staff and parent body. In total, our team provides over 300 hours of free, volunteer workshops and trainings per year.

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.
