Touchstone Community School in Rothesay, New Brunswick channels 95.2% of its spending into programs — among the highest ratios for social service organizations — with compensation at 72.5% of revenue reflecting that staff are the program. With 24 years of registration, a stable 9-member board, and lean 3.7 months of reserves right at the peer norm, this is a tightly run community school. A duplicate-year data flag means the revenue trend has fewer unique data points than it appears.
Our Verdict: A high-performing community school that puts nearly every dollar into programming, with strong governance and clean compliance. Compensation is high because teachers and staff are the core service — this is a school, not an overhead problem. A solid A+ choice for donors supporting alternative education in New Brunswick.
