What Escuela Bilingue Internacional does
Mission
The mission of Escuela Bilingue Internacional is to provide an excellent spanish-english bilingual education based on the highest international academic standards in an environment that thrives on diversity, fosters global citizenship, and develops the character necessary to recognize that cultural uniqueness is the touchstone of our common humanity.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Ebi follows the internacional baccalaureate primary years programme (pyp) for the pre-primary, kindergarten and grades 1 through 5, and will follow ib's middle years programme (myp) for the 6th through 8th grade, developed by the internacional baccalaureate (ib), these are internationally respected pedagogical programs. Students graduating 8th grade from ebi will be prepared to enter any spanish or english high school in the world and to attain the internacional baccalaureate degree that is highly regarded by universities on an international basis. With inquiry at the center of our work, children at ebi experience an integrated world of learning as they draw on all the subject areas to answer the questions they have about the world around them and make decisions about positive actions that will make it better. Our philosophy and methodologies call on children, teachers and families to reflect on what they are learning and to choose actions congruent with their conclusions in a collaborative and caring environment. Our goal is to achieve better solutions to problems by understanding the world from a variety of perspectives.

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 2017 to 2018, from $9.1M to $16M (+81%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 10% · 2022 1% · 2024 3% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
6% of ESCUELA BILINGUE INTERNACIONAL’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (23% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 9 funders, grant income fell $211k → $183k.
12 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 83% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ESCUELA BILINGUE INTERNACIONAL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ESCUELA BILINGUE INTERNACIONAL has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
83% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ESCUELA BILINGUE INTERNACIONAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 39% · 2019 58% · 2020 61% · 2021 37% · 2022 33% · 2023 42% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
47% of ESCUELA BILINGUE INTERNACIONAL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
83% of ESCUELA BILINGUE INTERNACIONAL's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $433k that is directly attributable, 57% of it comes from funders outside California, across 10 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
ESCUELA BILINGUE INTERNACIONAL's revenue grew 28% between 2017 and 2025.
