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.

Many of our courses are evaluated by Quality Matters — a nonprofit organization and recognized leader in quality assurance for online learning — to help us ensure our learners receive a high-quality curriculum. In 2017, we received the Quality Matters Make a Difference for Students Award for Outstanding Impact by a K-12 Organization.
In 2005, we were accredited by Cognia (formerly known as AdvancED), a non-profit, non-partisan organization that conducts rigorous, on-site reviews of a variety of educational institutions and systems to ensure that all learners benefit from a quality education. We were subsequently re-accredited in 2010 and 2016.

Get course costs covered through your local school district or ISD
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
- A “shared time” program with 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.
If you don’t have any luck with this route, it also doesn’t hurt to contact your local intermediate school district (ISD) or a neighboring district. You may need the refusal in writing from your local district first before they’re able to work with you.
