Tree Academy is a new, innovative non-profit school with a customized academic approach. We provide both small class and individual college-preparatory instruction - for every student, every class, every week, which means five tutorial hours a week - to 6th through 12th graders (a new grade will be added each year, continuing through 12th). Tree is designed for high achievers or students feeling disillusioned, for those with burning passions as well as for those with alternative learning modes - all looking for a student-centered, project based, interdisciplinary approach to the creative arts and new technologies at a unique, diverse campus and community center, dedicated to social justice. true FINANCIAL ASSISTANT 119 744738 cash FORM 990 SCHEDULE I PART I LINE 2 Describe the organization's procedures for monitoring the use of grant funds in the United States. Tree Academy relies on ISMFAST for recommendations on financial aid. ISMFAST is a nationally recognized third party accounting firm that specializes in assessing financial need for families applying or attending schools offering financial aid or grants. Families submit their financial records which includes their Tax Return to ISMFAST's evaluation process. ISMFAST then determines the level of aid for the student. Financial Aid is based directly on ISMFAST's recommendation, but is subject to the overall funds TREE Academy has available in a given year.
