Paying with ESA funds
Pay for Arbor with your ESA funds
If your state gives your family an education savings account, you may be able to pay for Arbor with it instead of a card. You get the same 14 free days either way.

How it works
- Sign up and set up your year as usual. On the last step, choose Pay with ESA funds instead of adding a card, and type each child’s full name exactly as it appears on their ESA account. Tried Arbor before and your trial ran out? Sign in and choose the same thing on the screen that greets you.
- Your 14 free days start right away. No card needed.
- In Settings, Billing, download one invoice per child. It covers the rest of the school year, through June 30, because that is when these programs’ years end: $24.99 for each month left, never more than $249.99. You only pay for your first two children. Every child after that is free, so they need no invoice. Each July, you get next year’s invoices from the same page. Or choose to pay monthly: $24.99 per child each month, and we email you each month’s invoice before the month is up.
- In ClassWallet, choose Pay Vendor, pick Arbor Homeschool LLC, upload the invoice, and pay it from that child’s account.
- When ClassWallet pays us, your year opens through June 30. If it’s still being processed when your free days end, write to us and we’ll keep your account open while it goes through.
If your program pays you back instead
Some programs reimburse you after you pay. Start with a card as usual. Every payment in Settings, Billing has a receipt for each child, with their name, the dates, the amount and the card, ready to submit. Each program sets its own rules about what it covers, so check yours before you count on it.
Good to know
- Each family gets one free trial, whichever way you pay.
- If the payment hasn’t come through when your free days end, Arbor pauses until it does. Everything you built is saved, and you can pay by card instead at any time.
