        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>FIN 48 Footnote - The School is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable District of Columbia income tax laws. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The School performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended June 30, 2012, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the statute of limitations for tax years 2007 through 2011 remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which the School files tax returns. It is the School's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.</Explanation>
