Discovery School’s building was constructed in 1979, with additions that came later. It is located at 855 Milsboro Road.
MANSFIELD — Discovery School is the latest addition to the list of the State of Ohio’s Scholarship Granting Organizations.
This means that the school can now accept donations to its scholarship fund giving a dollar for dollar credit against their Ohio tax liability when people file their taxes with the state this upcoming tax season.
The State of Ohio introduced the Ohio Scholarship Donation Credit in 2021, and it will be available again in 2025.
Each donation reduces taxpayers’ Ohio income tax up to $750 (individual) or $1,500 (married filing jointly).
They can also receive a federal tax deduction for this charitable contribution. For those filing a married joint return, each person needs to make their own $750 contribution to claim the maximum tax credit of $1,500.
This credit is limited to the total Ohio State income tax owed for the 2024 tax year, and qualifying contributions are made at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
This means that taxpayers can essentially choose an organization — like Discovery School — to donate to and receive tax credit from the state of Ohio, lowering their tax due by the amount donated.
Head of School, Simon Clark is excited that this scholarship opportunity will allow more students in Richland County to be able to receive an International Baccalaureate education.
“We are pleased to be able to offer this scholarship opportunity to families who appreciate the joy of learning and want to foster curiosity and creativity in their child’s education,” Clark said.
“We recognize learning as an adventure, and through additional scholarship opportunities, we hope to be able to make Discovery School accessible to any interested family.”
Interested donors should contact the school for more information. Business Manager Susanne Carmack is able to offer support on how to go through the donation process.
“We hope that anyone who values education and developing lifelong learners will choose to donate to our SGO and help make a meaningful difference to our students who are looking for hands-on learning,” Clark said.
