- How much does Method Schools give per student?
- Method Schools does not publish current enrichment fund amounts on its own site. $1,500 per student per year, prorated. Not cash and not reimbursement. Confirm directly with the school — third-party figures in this space go stale quickly.
- How does a program become an approved vendor at Method Schools?
- Method Schools accepts applications from providers directly. The standard packet is a W-9, city business license, standalone website, general liability insurance naming the school as additional insured, DOJ Live Scan for every instructor, and annual mandated-reporter training.
- Can Method Schools funds pay for religious instruction?
- No. These are tuition-free public charter schools, so content must be non-sectarian. A divided Ninth Circuit upheld California's exclusion of religious curricula from parent-designed charter independent-study programs in March 2026.
