The software and Technology allowance ensures our students have access to the technology hardware and software they need to be successful at Method.
Method carefully curates software subscriptions that work in conjunction with our academic program. At this time, we do not solicit or accept vendor applications for use in our software allowance program.
No. The software allowance is determined each school year as we set our annual
budget. At this time, we do not roll over the software allowance from year to
year.
Yes. Each student enrolled at Method Schools receives a software allowance.
Software subscriptions are provided as a complement to Method’s standard
curriculum. Once you are no longer a student at Method Schools, your student's subscriptions will be terminated.
Any technology equipment purchased via the software allowance must be returned to Method Schools upon withdrawal from Method. You are welcome to keep non-subscription software and technology for as long as your child is a student at Method
The software allowance is a portion of the curriculum budget for each student, which is calculated based on the length of enrollment. Students who are with Method for less than a year will have an allowance equal to the
number of quarters the student is enrolled
Where applicable, Method can cancel your child's subscription and apply the difference to their fund balance. We strongly recommend that you work with their homeroom teacher or review software before selecting a subscription.
In the Smartfox LMS, you and your child can select items via the Software Allowance tab. This will also show you’re your remaining allowance once items have been purchased.
If there is an educational subscription you think would fit well with your child’s curriculum, please bring it up with your Homeroom Teacher. There is no guarantee that every site will be approved.
No. The software allowance can only be applied to pre-approved software subscriptions available for selection in SmartFox. Method offers educational field trips as part of its standard program. Please check the events page or contact your HRT for a list of planned field trips.
