Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

LSS serves as a regional provider of special education services to students, theirfamilies, and municipal school systems, and promotes the charitable, scientific, and educational purposes of Emma Pendleton Bradley Hospital (EPBH).

Activities or mission (Part I)

Lifespan School Solutions, Inc. (LSS) operates schools which provide special education oversight, clinical coordination, technical assistance, tutoring services, and administrative support to children and adolescents with behavioral health issues.

  • LSS, doing business as "The Bradley School" (the School), is comprised of six private, school-funded, day treatment educational programs located in Rhode Island (4) and Connecticut (2) for children and adolescents whose psychiatric and behavioral needs cannot be met in a public school setting. These programs are accredited by the Departments of Education of Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts and serve between 375 to 410 students. The School provides special education services to school-age children and adolescents (ages 3-21) with psychiatric and/or developmental challenges, often presenting oppositional and disruptive classroom behaviors, as well as social and life skill difficulties. In addition, there are a number of partnerships with Rhode Island school districts, as Bradley School-staffed classrooms are embedded within public schools. The Bradley School (the School) uses a blended learning environment to implement a fully Common Core State Standard-aligned curriculum in all content areas. Students learn through direct specialized instruction as well as online learning. The multisensory approach to instruction also includes traditional textbooks, hands-on opportunities, and experiential learning. The School also has a number of online intervention programs for math and reading that provide ongoing progress monitoring data that are crucial for the classroom staff to both develop and evaluate student progress. The School also offers a virtual high school curriculum which provides instruction in all high school courses, allowing students to choose classes that can be difficult to accommodate in a small private school environment. The School furnishes a remedial experience for students who were not able to succeed in settings with traditional classroom instruction. The use of a blended learning program at The School has been very successful in providing a rigorous curriculum while improving the proficiency and academic growth of students, specifically tailored to their learning needs. For students with developmental challenges who require additional support, teachers at The School use a curriculum that offers reading, math, science, social studies, life skills, and prevocational assessment and instruction, as well as a related program that provides information regarding weekly current events. This curriculum uses both visual and textual instruction to present information to students with unique learning needs. Art instruction is provided by teachers from the Newport Art Museum in Newport, Rhode Island and The Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, Rhode Island. The School also has three physical education teachers who serve all students, providing adapted physical education to students with special motor needs. The School utilizes textbooks and other traditional learning materials, as well as chromebooks, interactive whiteboards, and computers, so that all students can access the curriculum in a flexible manner which focuses on their learning needs. Students also participate in social-emotional learning. Classroom teams and clinicians use varied evidence-based strategies to introduce skills that can help students succeed behaviorally, socially, and in coping with challenging emotional circumstances.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
