The world is changing before us. The success and well-being of our students depend on our ability to adapt to this rapidly changing environment and use the best tools available to facilitate learning. Rooted in research and student outcomes, Michigan Virtual’s comprehensive, whole-school programs empower you to drive meaningful innovation at your school to best serve your students, your staff, and your community.
Our whole-school approach provides comprehensive education, support, and resources to key stakeholders as a means of improving student outcomes in and out of class.
Our whole-school approach to online learning offers a comprehensive educational experience that solves many of the challenges today’s students, teachers, and administrators face.
Led by Michigan-certified teachers who are highly qualified in their subject areas, our award-winning courses provide individualized learning opportunities for a variety of needs.
Professional development is a critical link in ensuring a quality education. Our PD solutions offer personalized education, training, and support for educators to help improve the student experience.
A quality education touches more than academics. Michigan Cares, our online SEL solution, addresses the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social skills students need to succeed in school and beyond.

Michigan Virtual is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse workforce. We embrace different voices, faces, ideas, and backgrounds and believe human diversity, the seen and unseen, drives innovation and creativity. We are building a culture grounded in a climate where everyone feels included, respected, and valued and is comfortable being their whole authentic self.
We’re sorry to inform you that we have reached capacity for several of our Semester 1 and Trimester 1 courses. You’ll notice when attempting to enroll students in our Student Learning Portal that some courses are unavailable. While we are no longer accepting new enrollments for these courses at this time, many courses continue to remain open for enrollment.
With many students across the state 100% remote, demand for our online courses is greater than ever before. Because every course we offer is taught by a Michigan-certified teacher, this high volume of enrollments has created capacity issues for our teachers who provide each and every student with individual feedback.
While the Michigan Virtual team anticipated and planned for significant increases in student enrollments this Fall, the increased demand we’ve experienced has been unprecedented. As a result, we are taking steps to hire even more part-and full-time teachers to support larger numbers of student enrollments for Semester 2 as well as for Trimester 2 and 3.
For schools that still need online learning options this year, please fill out the form at the bottom of our virtual pathways page to meet with someone to discuss other solutions. While some of our teacher-led courses are full, we may still have the capacity to help you in upcoming terms or can discuss timing to implement a whole-school or collaborative program in which local teachers from your school/district use our online course content to teach students. We also have free course content and resources available for you to use.
We know this is an incredibly stressful time for all, and we’re sorry if the courses you’re looking for are unavailable. We never want to turn away a student who wants to learn from us. Our top concern, however, is student success, and we have a policy to not take on additional enrollments if we cannot guarantee that all students will have a quality online learning experience.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate the unusually high volume of enrollments we are receiving.
