Wonderful academic and admin staff

The academic and admin staff is impressive. i am amazed by the level of detail and assertive communication. You inform in an orderly manner, very clear and concise. Is very easy of a parent to be informed and follow up.

Not for working parents

We can't stand the academic side of DMSA. It's been terrible. Such a great concept to have a sports charter, but that's about it. I recommend getting rid of the onsite option, especially for younger ages. Neither our 8 year old, nor 11 year old do much Smartfox while in the presence of a DMSA teacher, which is where they get graded from. This is basically a homeschool sports charter in its infancy. Great potential, but parents you must be part of the learning process of your children's academic growth - this school reinforces that.

Reply from Method Schools

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the academic experience at DMSA hasn’t met your expectations. While we're proud of the program’s concept, we know the day-to-day experience—especially for younger students—is just as important.

We're actively working to improve how students engage with SmartFox and how our teachers support learning onsite. You're right that parent involvement is key in this model, and we appreciate families who partner with us to help it succeed.

We value your input and hope you'll consider reaching out directly so we can better understand your experience and continue to improve.

Best decision for our student athlete!

We are over a year into being with DMSA and was the best decision we made for our student athlete. He has express that he feels balanced with academics maintaining a 4.0 and soccer training has opened doors we never knew he he could open. Thank you DMSA!

DMSA pushing me to my full potential

This school is really changing my athletic abilities! The coaches are amazing, equipping us with the best skills, pushing me to my full potential.
The academic part of it is also the best! Always challenging me, I'm learning so much & yet don't feel overwhelmed with school work. This school offers a great balance for athletic students, I recommend 100%

The staff is so great

The staff is so great! They were responsive to us, as parents, and our student, to make it a very successful learning experience. They accommodated our 504 plan needs and effectively communicated with us all, demonstrating their dedication to their program. We will definitely use Method in the future and highly recommend their institution. Thank you!

Helpful teachers, but the curriculum could be improved

The teachers at Method Schools were phenomenal and they have allowed me to deepen my understanding of the concepts I am learning. However, the curriculum given by Method Schools could be improved since there are noticeable errors in the lessons, the quizzes, and the tests.
