What Nittany Valley Charter School Inc does
Mission
To provide a flexible learning environment with small classes and a high teacher-student ratio where individualized instructional programs are designed to meet the needs of the whole child. We believe that school must be able to accommodate each child's individual learning style and developmental pace, and respond not only to their intellectual needs, but also equally importantly to their emotional, social, and physical needs.to provide opportunities for students to interact with a variety of instructional materials, as well as to stress the importance of learning from each other, from adults, and from community resources. We believe experiences outside the traditional classroom setting are an essential component of learning.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We educate 52 students in grades kindergarten through 6th grade, following the pa state standards and curriculum, including an environmental education program that offers hands-on learning outside the traditional classroom. The high certified teacher to student ratio allows for an individualized approach to education that focuses on the academic, physical, social and emotional needs of each child.

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 2018 to 2019, from $1.2M to $1.3M (+10%).
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.

From the IRS filings of NITTANY VALLEY CHARTER SCHOOL INC’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.
Where its funders are
100% of NITTANY VALLEY CHARTER SCHOOL INC'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $560 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
