Revenue model

1. Public Per-Pupil Funding: Operating expenses primarily covered by public dollars from District of Columbia per-pupil funding. Public charter schools receive approximately 75% of per-pupil funding allocated to traditional public schools, creating a funding gap the school relies on donations to bridge.
2. Individual and Corporate Donations: Tax-deductible donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations help close the funding gap between public charter school funding and traditional public school per-pupil allocations. Donations directly support scholar expenses and alumni support programs.
3. National School Lunch Program: Participation in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), and Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) provides federal meal funding for all students at no cost to families.
