Lansing – Michigan Virtual School® has enhanced its course delivery options for the remainder of the 2011-12 school year.

Following a thorough review of courses, course styles and pricing practices by MVS staff and an external team of school administrators and online instructors, MVS developed three new course styles to accommodate the needs of customers for more options that allow greater choice.

"Our new delivery models respond to the needs of Michigan schools and expands our ability to provide new options for students to help them achieve academic success," said Jamey Fitzpatrick, MVU® President and CEO.

MVS Plus courses offer the greatest level of support to students with a highly-qualified, Michigan-certified online instructor and most closely mirror a traditional classroom. These courses include world languages, Advanced Placement and the entire core curriculum. MVS Plus course cost: $275.

MVS Basic courses use highly-qualified, Michigan-certified online instructors but with a larger class size. They are best suited for learners who have previously demonstrated academic success working independently. MVS Basic course cost: $190.

MVS Blended courses provide schools the opportunity to place students in Core, Literacy Advantage or Foundation pathways. These content-only courses allow independent learning and work best when content is paired with a local teacher. MVS Blended course cost: $99.

MVS also provides out-of-state pricing for schools.

Course content is aligned with the Michigan Merit Curriculum where applicable. The MMC helps Michigan’s public and private schools design, implement and assess their core content area curricula.
