A California non-profit corporation in good standing

Sound financial practices and planning have received annual, independent audits for over 25 years.

School tuitions account for approximately 94 percent of TIEE’s revenue and, of that, about 68 percent is derived from public school contracts to serve students with special needs. During the 2014-2015 school year, TIEE contracted with 25 San Diego and Riverside County school districts to educate approximately 182 students with special needs and with nearly 200 families to educate their typically developing children.
