(Continued Schedule O) false false 4978870 1323784 6254841 In 2020-21, we created roles and hired the following talent for the 2021-22 school year to increase innovation in the curriculum: STEM teacher, literacy teacher, librarian, tech education specialist, and sustainability manager andecology teacher. We also sent several teachers to multiple training courses to support innovation, some of which include: You Can Teach It All in the Elementary Montessori Program, Instructors Academy, IB MYP training, AMS workshops & conference, Literacy training, Montessori Leadership training, and PCTE Montessori credential courses. Our philosophy, policies, and procedures have always been founded on our Montessori tenets, but in the 201819 school year, we engaged our faculty, staff, and parents in a Diversity & Inclusion task force to study our policies and practices and identify areas needing further reflection and improvement. The concluding report, findings, and school challenges were formally accepted by the HOS and Board of Trustees in 2019. From that challenge, a Measuring Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) plan was developed and the following wasaccomplished through the 2020-21 school year: (See Schedule O) Because we were safely and successfully able to run an on-campus program since summer 2020, interest in our school has increased and we gave more tours this year than the last two years combined. In summer 2021 we enjoyed full infant through elementary summer programs. We have started the 2021-22 academic year at nearly full capacity in our cohort-restricted classes, which include 70 families who are new to the school. Our enrollment for 2021-22 is at its highest since 2014-15. We are also working to streamline the admissions process to provide more opportunities for the Admissions Coordinator to support the enrollment and application process. Princeton Montessori School continued its partnership with Dr. Noble and Associates to provide psycho-educational support and proper learning intervention to teachers, parents and students when needed. We continue to use DIBELS reading screenings in grades K through 6 to ensure students are meeting grade-levelbenchmarks. This year, we added a part-time position dedicated to student services for the upcoming year to ensure all of our students are meeting benchmarks and receiving the learning support they need. In addition, we added a Secondary Placement Coordinator role to our Middle School program to ensure our students are guided through the high school admissions process and are able to graduate as confident and competent young adults. 4978870 true true false false false false true false false false true false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 18 0 true 70 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NJ X Dale Santos 6099244594 487 Cherry Valley Road Princeton NJ 08540 Michelle Morrison Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 147900 0 0 Dale Santos Director of Finance 40.00 0.00 X 112000 0 0 Jennifer Ni Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sunanda Nair-Bidkar Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rita Zetterberg Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Caroline Scriven Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Samantha Rosenstock Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Egbert Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Eckstein Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Chambers Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ugur Koyluoglu Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stan Kang Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lee Gardner Board of Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 259900 0 0 2 false false false 742982 179500 922482 Tuition revenue 611710 5114245 5114245 Other income 611710 209565 209565 5323810 8549 8549 6254841 5323810 0 8549 1323784 1323784 259900 73950 185950 2324685 2097452 207127 20106 260072 218496 39553 2023 182278 153138 27722 1418 20700 20700 193276 188048 5228 50752 49536 1216 20412 20412 172068 164686 7382 16458 16458 3825 3825 200196 200196 531851 265926 265925 37272 31313 5668 291 Direct educational expenses 116205 116205 Supplies 44935 44935 Telephone 30304 29004 1300 Maintenance and repairs 211172 202114 9058 36152 36152 6036297 4978870 1033589 23838 276264 151954 1739903 1936699 89879 19916 456544 404516 15151774 9662912 5904468 5488862 85298 33574 8095 8095 8560451 8043616 151277 410155 2226896 2079013 6687400 6578046 742982 9808555 9067214 X -1280604 -1076598 32500 53000 -1248104 -1023598 8560451 8043616 X 218544 5960 2 X false true X true false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X 1 6.00 1 1 1 false 445781 445781 13654306 8798599 4855707 1051687 864313 187374 5488862 Security deposits Cash restricted for escrow deposit 8095 8095 Forgivable loan payable 4937017 5960 5960 4931057 1323784 1323784 6254841 4712513 4712513 1323784 1323784 6036297 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Description of nondiscriminatory policy (Question 3) It is the policy of Organization not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability in its educational programs and its related policies and procedures. true Scholarship for students attending PMS Programs 4 30010 FMV-comparable fees Tuition scholarships Tuition assistance for students attending PMS Programs 57 1293774 FMV-comparable fees Tuition assistance Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) All families are welcome annually to apply for tuition assistance which is processed through TADS, which is an online tuition and financial aid assessment service.
