The Academy at Method Schools: High School Students Can Earn College Credit, Saving Thousands in Tuition

Method Means More For Your Student

Method is more than a K–12 public school—it's a completely student-oriented school community. Our students receive more individual attention from teachers, custom learning plans, one-on-one tutoring, and seemingly unlimited field trips and in-person events, including sports. Tuition is always free, and enrollment is now open for 2025–26.

I cannot express what an amazing school Method is! The teachers and support staff are the best we have ever had the pleasure of working with and are willing to go far above and beyond for each student. If not for all the support and cooperation they provided, our daughter would have not graduated on time and felt that she could face college and more. The one-on-one each student receives empower students to do more and that they matter. It’s not a school for training conformity but a school that treats individuality as an amazing quality to nurture.

The staff at this school are excellent. They're very communicative and understanding. They're great at accommodating different students and their methods of learning. I would always recommend this school.

We have spent just over 3 years with Method Schools and both my son and daughter (very different learners) absolutely thrived! I cannot say enough about the teachers and support staff, who completely dedicate themselves to provide excellence in education, as well as nurturing and caring for the student’s whole mental health. I highly recommend Method Schools!

I'm so glad we found Method. This program fits perfectly with our schedule, and the small classes ensure my child receives enough attention and help from everyone in the Method family. Thank you!

I'm a student here at method and this whole school is great. The teachers your assigned with actually care about how your grades and experience turn out, you can go at your own pace so you can complete your work as quickly as you want to or take your time, along with that they have lectures for you to read so you can reread, or rewatch anything you might be confused about and teach yourself whatever you need to. This school also makes it easy to really do whatever you want to do outside of school while still getting your education in, because you can go as quickly as you want you can just do everything you need to do and still have time for fun outside of school.
