Mission
SEE SCHEDULE OA LEADER IN PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION SINCE 1921, LREI TEACHES CHILDREN TO BE INDEPENDENT THINKERS WHO WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE COMPLEX PROBLEMS. STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITY AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN OUR DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY, WITH THE CREATIVITY, INTEGRITY, AND COURAGE TO BRING MEANINGFUL CHANGE TO THE WORLD.
-
AT LREI (LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE & ELISABETH IRWIN HIGH SCHOOL) WE UNDERSTAND THAT STUDENTS LEARN BEST WHEN THEY ARE ENGAGED. OUR PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM IS ROOTED IN A FUNDAMENTAL LOVE OF LEARNING AND A CONNECTION TO THE REAL WORLD. OUR TEACHERS, EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELDS, ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO USE THEIR CURIOSITY, COMPASSION AND IMAGINATION TO THINK DEEPLY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN FINDING SOLUTIONS TO REAL PROBLEMS. (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION) WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORLD AROUND US PARTICULARLY OUR EVER VIBRANT HOME, NEW YORK CITY IS THE BEST PLACE TO LEARN. YOU'LL FIND OUR STUDENTS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT GREEN DESIGN AT THE HIGH LINE, FILMING A DOCUMENTARY ON CONEY ISLAND'S BOARDWALK AND VOLUNTEERING AT THE LOCAL FOOD PANTRY WE'VE PARTNERED WITH FOR YEARS. WE PROVIDE A RICH AND CHALLENGING PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM FOR BRIGHT, INQUISITIVE STUDENTS WHO BRING A RANGE OF ABILITIES AND INTERESTS TO THEIR COLLECTIVE STUDY OF THE WORLD. OUR SCHOOL IS A COMMUNITY BUILT ON UNDERSTANDING AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS. LIKE NEW YORK CITY, THIS COMMUNITY IS DIVERSE IN EVERY SENSE, WITH A VARIETY OF FAMILY STRUCTURES AND BELIEFS, AS WELL AS OTHER, MORE FAMILIAR DEFINITIONS OF DIVERSITY (RACIAL, ETHNIC, SOCIOECONOMIC, RELIGIOUS). OUR INTERDISCIPLINARY CURRICULUM AND SCHOOLWIDE SOCIAL JUSTICE INITIATIVES PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF MANY CULTURES. AS INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT IS ENCOURAGED AND REWARDED, OUR PROGRAM UNDERSCORES THE VALUE OF SHARED GOALS AND COOPERATION IN MASTERING DIFFICULT TASKS. BY THE TIME LREI STUDENTS GRADUATE, THEY ARE READY TO MAKE THEIR MARKS ON THEIR UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES BECAUSE THEY HAVE LEARNED TO BE ACTIVE CITIZENS IN THEIR SCHOOL, CITY AND GLOBAL COMMUNITIES.

The first 25 listed. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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 11 November 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.
