What Depaul School for Hearing and Speech does
Mission
Depaul school provides children with listening and spoken language-based holistic education, including language acquisition, mathematics, science and social studies as well as art, music and physical education. These programs provide children who are deaf, and those whose educational needs qualify them to enroll at depaul. Services are provided at no cost to these children regardless of their religious beliefs, or cultural differences. Depaul's team of educators work collaboratively to equip these children with requisite educational skills to prepare them to transition to their neighborhood schools. In addition to depaul's hearing support program, depaul offers a speech and integrated language for literacy (saill) preschool for children with typical hearing, but severe language delays.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The school provides quality listening and spoken language (lsl) education for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. These opportunities are provided to all children who qualify for admission regardless of religious, cultural, or ethnic backgrounds. The belief is that children who are deaf or hard of hearing have potential to develop lsl skills as the foundation for lifelong literacy and intellectual growth. The school strives to provide the best education for children who are deaf or hard of hearing through development of academic skills that ensure success in the educational and social mainstream. The school provides a learning environment that fosters the spiritual, emotional, and personal growth of each child. Depaul staff work together with the children and their families in the education process and value their participation in the child's education. The school engages professionals from medical, educational, and philanthropic communities to enlist support and collaborate in an effort to provide quality auditory oral services to the children and uses state-of-the-art audiological and educational services throughout the school.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $12M to $15M (+19%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
