MYTEK LAB courses are eligible educational expenses for Montana ESA reimbursement. Purchase your course directly, then submit documentation to the Montana Office of Public Instruction.
The Montana Education Savings Account (ESA) is a program administered by the Montana Office of Public Instruction (OPI). It allows approved families to be reimbursed for eligible educational expenses, including online courses, curriculum, tutoring, and technology education programs.
Unlike marketplace-based ESA programs in other states, Montana ESA operates as a reimbursement program: families purchase the educational service or product directly, then submit documentation to OPI to request reimbursement from their ESA balance.
Always verify current eligibility, reimbursement limits, and required documentation directly at opi.mt.gov, as program details change.
Online educational courses are generally eligible for Montana ESA reimbursement. Montana families purchase MYTEK LAB courses directly through myteklab.com, then submit receipts and supporting documentation to the Montana Office of Public Instruction to request reimbursement from their ESA balance.
MYTEK LAB is WASC-accredited, which means our courses meet rigorous academic quality standards and qualify for elective credit at the middle and high school level, useful supporting documentation when requesting reimbursement.
Montana ESA does not maintain a vendor-approval program. Eligibility and reimbursement decisions are made by Montana OPI on a per-request basis.

Online educational courses are typically eligible expenses under the Montana ESA reimbursement program. Montana ESA operates as a reimbursement model: families purchase the course directly and then submit documentation to the Montana Office of Public Instruction (OPI) for reimbursement. Approval decisions are at OPI's discretion.
Montana ESA operates as a reimbursement-based program rather than a vendor-marketplace program, so there is no formal vendor-approval process, for MYTEK LAB or for any other provider. Instead, families purchase MYTEK LAB courses directly and then request reimbursement from OPI. We are happy to provide receipts, invoices, and course descriptions to support a reimbursement claim.
Yes. Our middle school and high school level courses qualify for Computer Education and Computer Science elective credit. This is noted in each course description.
Yes. MYTEK LAB is fully accredited by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges), one of the most respected accreditation bodies in U.S. education.
MYTEK LAB offers both live and flex-paced courses. Live classes meet weekly with a professional technology instructor and include direct interaction, projects, feedback, and support. Flex-paced courses allow students to complete the same type of structured technology learning on their own schedule, with access to instructor feedback and support.

A small selection of voluntary end-of-course reflections from MYTEK LAB students across five years and every major course, in their own words. (Reflections are from students nationwide, not Montana-specific.)
Information Technology 2 taught me lots of new skills this year! Overall, this course was very fun, and it prepared me well for where I am headed. My college I am headed to is extremely STEM focused, and I am so grateful I had a solid foundation given to me by this course.
I've taken classes with myteklab for the past three years and even though the topics and concepts are beyond hard to wrap my head around, the environment and teaching has always convinced me to stay. While the class proved difficult time and time again I felt like every accomplishment was that much sweeter.
I really enjoyed this year in IT. For me, it didn't even seem like school. Learning to program and code has always been a big dream of mine and now that I have gotten able to do it, it has been so much fun. I really can't wait for Information Technology 2 next year.
I enjoyed my 1st year/class at MYTEK so much, and will totally continue to take classes on this awesome site! The community of other students is super cool. MYTEK really inspired me to get into tech this year, and I might even be looking at pursuing a tech career!
This class has served me well and taught me a lot of important skills, such as socket.io. I really enjoyed this year and look forward to next year. I am forever grateful to be able to be enrolled in your courses!
This year has definitely been my favourite so far! I have learned so many things about coding and AI, which was my favourite module. I never thought I would be able to look at code and understand the things that I read, but over the year I learned that it is not as complicated as it seems. Thank you for inspiring me to learn and to create things I never imagined I would be able to do.
Overall, I really enjoyed Computer Science 1 and am looking forward to taking Computer Science 2. I am a lot more confident with mytekserver and linux now.
This year was CRAZY! And I loved every minute of it. Level three was challenging but great to learn! Learning how to code for real was interesting and way more fun then block coding for me!
To be completely honest, I originally only took this class because it was a required high school credit. However, I loved it and it quickly turned into one of my favorite classes I've ever taken. I'm proud to say that I'm not terrified of vim anymore like I was at the beginning!
I loved programming. I tried to program before but how they taught me did not make sense. But Mytek you made me able to understand it and not be frustrated as the other program I did. I loved the course and how it was presented.
This class has helped me tremendously when programming in engineering and also understanding many of the software programs that I have used through architecture. I am sure I will refer to much of the knowledge gained here in my college years and in my career.
Thanks so much for teaching me over the last 2 years. MyTek really helped me decide what I want to do in the future. Next year I'll be attending Purdue University with a major in Computer Science!
Many students have tried robotics clubs, Scratch, coding tutorials, or advanced applications. But participating in a technology activity is not always the same as building independent skills. MYTEK LAB gives every student a structured path to create, troubleshoot, understand, and complete projects of their own.
Learning happens by creating real projects, not just watching or clicking through tutorials.
An instructor reviews the work, answers the student's actual questions, and helps them get unstuck.
Courses build on each other so students move from first steps to genuine, independent skill.
Live students meet weekly with an experienced technology instructor. Flex-paced students work on their own schedule while still receiving structured lessons, project requirements, feedback, and support.
Very few online homeschool technology programs hold WASC accreditation. It matters for families who need courses to count for elective credit and for co-ops that vet curriculum before recommending it.
MYTEK LAB has been serving homeschool families since 2015. We are not a startup. We are an established program that Montana families have trusted for a decade.
Students are not anonymous. Instructors know their names, their learning pace, and where they need extra support.
In addition to the Montana ESA, MYTEK LAB is accepted by multiple other scholarship and education savings programs. Contact us to confirm eligibility for your specific program.
Fall 2026 courses are open for enrollment. Seats are limited by class section.
Email info@myteklab.com or call (352) 577-9242. We're happy to help you choose the right course and prepare the documentation you need for your Montana ESA reimbursement request.
In 13 other states, MYTEK LAB is an approved vendor or recognized provider on the relevant ESA / scholarship / school-choice marketplaces, including Florida Step Up For Students, Utah Fits-All Scholarship, Georgia Promise Scholarship, and Texas Education Freedom Account. We also partner with several charter schools in California.
Montana works differently: Montana ESA is reimbursement-based, with no vendor-approval process, so the framing on those other state pages doesn't apply here. On Montana ESA, families pay first, then submit documentation to OPI for reimbursement.
If your state is not listed, contact us. We may still be able to work with your program, and we can help you submit documentation if your state allows parent-nominated vendors.
