Lansing – Michigan Virtual School offers a variety of courses in the summer, including required courses like math, science, history, English and six world languages, and elective courses like Digital Photography, Film Studies and Web Design Basics.

What are the benefits of MVS courses?
MVS courses are led by highly-qualified, Michigan-certified teachers. MVS is accredited by the North Central Association and the Commission on International and Trans-regional Accreditation, meaning that MVS courses exceed essential standards of educational quality. MVS core courses are approved by the NCAA. Students take MVS summer courses to make up credit, to get ahead and for personal enrichment.

MVS also offers Student Direct courses in the summer, and all year long. These courses are teacher-less (in subject areas like algebra, biology, economics, English, geography and world history), but offer a high degree of learner independence. Although no MVS instructors are assigned to Student Direct courses they require the parent to serve as the mentor if the student's school is not involved.

Is your student ready for online learning?
Before enrolling your son or daughter in a summer course please review the traits of successful online learners in the Summer Courses FAQs.

Parents and students, before you enroll, please consider:

• If your school provides summer courses through Michigan Virtual School, please work with your school on course selection.
• If your school does not provide a summer school option, check with your school to make sure the course you complete will be accepted for credit.
