What Sound Circle Center for Arts and Anthroposophy does
Mission

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
A satellite teacher training program was started for teachers at Hawaii Waldorf Schools.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
TEACHER TRAINING This program introduces adults wishing to be Waldorf Teachers to the spirit and methodologies of Waldorf Education. It involves individual study, group work, practical experience in Waldorf classrooms (under the guidance of an experienced teacher) and with supervisory visits from Sound Circle teachers, and a deepening practice of a wide range of arts. There is an Early Childhood program which is a recently introduced program for already practicing Early Childhood Teachers working Waldorf affiliated or Waldorf Inspired preschools. It follows much the same type of curriculum as the teacher training program outlined directly above, however it is geared to teachers who are working with younger grades and who need instruction in child development, curriculum, activities and arts appropriate to the young child. This year an additional satellite training program was started for teachers at Hawaii Waldorf Schools.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $125k to $191k (+53%).
