Running a microschool on the Arkansas EFA

Arkansas funds eligible students through the Education Freedom Account, administered through ClassWallet. Approximate award: ~$7,600 per student per year — set annually, sometimes prorated or tiered, so the figure that counts is the one on the family's award letter, not this page.

⚑ Cohort's rules for this program are inferred from public program documents and have not yet been confirmed against a real invoice cycle. They are a starting point, not advice — the same flag appears inside the product until a cycle is observed.

The paperwork

What ClassWallet asks for

Every reimbursement packet Cohort builds for a school in Arkansas is assembled against this list, so the invoice that goes out already carries what the reviewer looks for:

  • Attendance summary for the billing period
  • Educational purpose statement tied to the expense
  • Curriculum or course of study reference
  • Itemized amount with service dates
What Cohort does with all of this

The system that gets Arkansas microschools paid

Attendance becomes evidence. Published term dates plus a daily log turn "we logged 12 days" into "present for 12 of the 14 instructional days in this period" — a claim a reviewer can check.

Invoices come out packet-shaped. Work samples, graded feedback, receipts and your provider ID assembled into the document the administrator actually reviews.

Deadlines live on the calendar. Expense reports and renewals sit beside your term dates, on the dashboard as they approach.

And the limits are the same everywhere. Cohort never holds your money, never submits on its own, and flags every rule it hasn't verified — including Arkansas's.
