The Resident
Permanent K-12 Home
The Resident path is designed for families seeking a permanent, high-quality academic home. Unlike traditional schools where students can feel lost in a sea of hundreds, Method Residents benefit from our signature 19:1 student-to-teacher ratio. This "human-scale" approach ensures that every student is known by name and supported by a dedicated Success Manager who tracks their progress from enrollment through graduation.
Choosing to be a Resident means joining a vibrant K-12 community that balances the flexibility of a modern learning environment with the social depth of a traditional school. From robotics and student clubs to field trips and college-prep pathways, we provide the stability and rigor necessary for long-term excellence. If you are looking for a school that grows with your child, you’ve found your home.

The Pivot
A Fresh Start Today
Sometimes, a student’s current environment simply stops working. Whether it is due to social anxiety, academic burnout, or a lack of personalized support, the "Pivot" is about providing an immediate exit strategy and a new beginning. We specialize in seamless mid-year transfers, handling the transcript coordination and district communication so you can focus on your student’s well-being.
Once the "Reset" begins, students are moved into a supportive, low-stress environment where they can stabilize their credits and regain their confidence. By removing the "dead spots" of a traditional school day and replacing them with high-engagement, 1-on-1 teacher support, we help "Resetters" turn a difficult semester into a success story.

The Accelerator
Fast July 1st Start
The Accelerator path is for the goal-oriented student on a mission to move fast. Whether they are looking to recover lost credits or fast-track their way to an early graduation, we provide the "bridge" they need to succeed. With our unique year-round track beginning July 1st, "Accelerators" can build massive academic momentum while the rest of the world is on break, ensuring they are always a step ahead.
We pride ourselves on being a frictionless partner for students traditionally enrolled in other districts. Our "Sprint" model allows students to complete UC a-g and NCAA-approved courses with elite teacher support and then seamlessly transfer those credits back to their home campus. At Method, we don’t believe in a "summer off" when there is a goal to be reached.

The Performer
Pro-Schedule Flexibility
For elite athletes, actors, and musicians, a 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM school day is often an impossible hurdle. The "Performer" path provides "Time Equity"—the ability to pursue a professional-level craft without sacrificing academic rigor. Our fully flexible schedule allows students to train, travel, and perform during the day while completing their coursework during their own peak hours.
We understand the high stakes of eligibility, which is why we provide meticulous tracking for NCAA and work permit requirements. Our "Performers" don't have to choose between the podium and the diploma; they receive a premier, WASC-accredited education that moves at the pace of their passion. We protect your training schedule so you can focus on being the best in your field.
