HOW IT WORKS

High School

  

Tuition-Free

Because MVCA is part of the public school system, it's tuition-free. Enrolled families receive the Stride K12 curriculum, and qualified students may receive a loaner computer and internet stipend. Families will be responsible for providing some consumable materials (such as printer ink and paper).

Who can attend?

The Michigan Virtual Charter Academy (MVCA) high school program serves full-time students in grades 9–12 who reside in the state of Michigan, are less than 20 years of age as of September 1 of the year they're enrolling, and do not already have a GED or high school diploma.

What is my role as a parent?

In high school, students complete most of their work independently. Parents continue to serve as their child's Learning Coach to support their success. As a Learning Coach, you will

  • Help your child stay on track
  • Monitor completion of lessons and assessments
  • Communicate challenges with your child's teacher as needed

Working with Your Teacher

Students work with their teachers and other classmates during "Class Connect" sessions. In "Class Connect" sessions, students

  • Receive live instruction from teachers
  • Interact with classmates
  • Ask questions and receive real-time support

Students can interact with their teachers and classmates by

  • Typing in the chat
  • Speaking over their microphone
  • Typing and drawing with online whiteboard features
  • Joining small group breakouts to work on projects or receive targeted instruction

Expectations for Completing Schoolwork

The following expectations are in place for high schoolers to ensure students are progressing academically:

  • Students must earn a passing grade of 70% or above on assignments.
  • Students must meet the assigned due dates of lessons and assessments.
  • Students must attend live, teacher-led "Class Connect" sessions.
  • Students must complete online lessons and can work on these any time of day.

Attending "Class Connect" sessions and completing coursework according to the assigned pacing schedule will help your student be successful.

In addition to regular classroom instruction, teachers offer support or small group sessions to assist student learning.

Time Commitment

High school students are expected to spend 6 hours per course per week. A student who takes 5 courses and spends 6 hours per week on each one is devoting approximately 30 hours per week to their course work.

Email

Email is the primary form of communication between the school and families. Learning Coaches and students are required to check and respond to emails on a daily basis.

State Testing

MVCA students must comply with all Michigan-mandated testing requirements.
