    A Focus on Strong Finances

    We believe in ensuring a strong long-term financial position through lean, debt-free operations, self-built systems, and attractive but conservative compensation. Enrollment growth is essential for the overall financial health of 51ºÚÁÏÍø, but we focus on moderate, scalable annual enrollment growth.

    The role of the finance team is to make it happen by safeguarding Method's funds and assets. Our objectives for 2022-23 include:
    81% Percentage of Funds Spent on Instruction

    Continued Financial Stability and Support for Growth

    Improve Budgeting Process and Reporting

    Increased Internal Controls

    Improve Finance Reporting and Transparency
