Mission and programs · 2024

• LOWELL SCHOOL FOSTERS INTELLECTUAL AND EMOTIONAL SELF-RELIANCE, WITH A GUIDING VALUE OF RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER. THIS APPROACH PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN TO BE HIGHLY MOTIVATED LEARNERS WITH A STRONG SENSE OF SELF-WORTH AND EFFICACY.LOWELL SCHOOL PROMOTES ACTIVE, COLLABORATIVE LEARNING WITH AN EMPHASIS ON BUILDING CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND DEVELOPING STRONG CREATIVE, CRITICAL, AND ANALYTICAL THINKING. CAREFULLY DESIGNED LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND CURRICULA ARE INTEGRATED ACROSS SUBJECTS, DRAW ON POWERFUL, RELEVANT CONTENT AND STUDENT INTERESTS, AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNAL MOTIVATION AND A STRONG VOICE.LEARNING AT LOWELL SCHOOL IS RIGOROUS: THINKING IS EMPHASIZED OVER ROTE LEARNING, AND STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO USE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS CREATIVELY AND PRACTICALLY. HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS ARE COUPLED WITH APPROPRIATE SCAFFOLDING SO THAT STUDENTS KNOW WHAT TO AIM FOR AND HOW TO GET THERE. IN THIS WAY, LOWELL SCHOOL PREPARES STUDENTS TO BE INNOVATORS AND ACHIEVERS WHO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY, SKILLS, AND INCLINATION TO SOLVE PROBLEMS NEW AND OLD.LOWELL SCHOOL IS AN INTENTIONALLY DIVERSE SCHOOL. THIS IS ESSENTIAL IN PREPARING STUDENTS FOR A FUTURE THAT WILL DEMAND DEEP MULTICULTURAL UNDERSTANDING, STRONG COLLABORATIVE SKILLS, AND COMMITMENT TO ONE'S LOCAL COMMUNITY AND THE LARGER WORLD. AT LOWELL SCHOOL, WE BELIEVE THAT AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTES TO INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION AND NURTURES AN INQUISITIVE AND OPEN MIND.

  Expenses $17,924,688 · Grants $3,443,956 · Revenue $18,584,072

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.
