Our Courses, Our Teachers
Every student who takes a Michigan Virtual online course receives feedback and guidance from a highly qualified, Michigan-certified teacher trained on effective practices for online pedagogy. Our student pass rate is significantly higher — more than 20 percentage points higher — than the statewide average for virtual learning.
Our extensive course catalog of 200+ teacher-led, online courses allows schools to expand their curriculum, work around scheduling conflicts, and provide opportunities for students to learn at their own pace in a supportive environment.
Students can choose to enroll in online courses in core subject areas, Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, world languages, and fun electives such as astronomy, archaeology, veterinary science, oceanography, cybersecurity, and more!
Our Courses, Your Teachers
Your school or district can build capacity and empower local staff to teach online with our new collaborative partnership model. You’ll receive access to our award-winning online course content AND ongoing professional development for your staff in effective practices for online pedagogy. Using this model, YOUR students get to take high-quality online courses taught by YOUR teachers.
How it works
You select the online courses you’d like to offer from a menu of 100+ options.
We provide introductory and ongoing professional development for you and your staff.
Your staff teaches your students online.
Your students benefit by having flexible learning options all managed within your local school or district, and your staff benefits by building knowledge and skill in teaching effectively online.
Our Custom Model
Our Custom Model lets districts deliver our high-quality digital courses and assessments through their own LMS, taught by their own teachers. This approach helps districts expand course offerings without overextending staff, lower per-student costs compared to other models, and preserve the vital teacher–student connection. Content integrates smoothly with existing systems and can be adapted to fit each district’s unique needs.
With curriculum aligned to state and national standards, NCAA approved, and WCAG 2.0 AA accessible, districts can trust the rigor and inclusivity of what’s delivered. Backed by a nonprofit partner committed to educational excellence and equity, the Custom Model offers a scalable, sustainable way to support students while keeping districts in control.
