Michigan online course pass rates
Our student pass rate is significantly higher — more than 25 percentage points higher — than the statewide average for virtual learning. In part, this is due to our quality curriculum and emphasis on supports for online learners.

Get course costs covered through your local school district
If you’re a homeschool parent looking to supplement your child’s education with online courses, it may be worth talking to the principal or superintendent of your local public school district to ask whether they offer any of the following:
- A homeschool partnership program
- Seat-time waivers for homeschool students, or
- Opportunities for homeschool students to take non-core electives on a part-time basis.
Some schools are more familiar with homeschool partnerships than others, but it never hurts to ask! Principals are typically out of the building for the entire month of July, but superintendents work year-round and may be able to help you during this time if you are unable to get in contact with the principal.
