Enrollment for online summer programming is available now.
Lansing, Mich. – Michigan parents are encouraged to unlock a summer of limitless learning with Michigan Virtual’s variety of online course offerings. With flexible scheduling, personalized support, and a vast array of subjects including core academics, world languages, and intriguing electives, students can stay engaged, get ahead or explore new interests.
“We have found that giving students a chance to continue learning on platforms they are already comfortable with is key to encouraging continued learning, despite the pull of summer activities,” said Shannon Smith, senior director of student learning with Michigan Virtual. “Today’s students are absorbing information at a higher rate and around the clock, so we’re here to meet them where they’re at and provide continued educational opportunities as much as possible.”
In 2023, Michigan Virtual provided over 4,000 across all available summer courses. Over the last five years, Michigan Virtual has seen a noticeably steady increase in general summer enrollment, as students and parents have chosen to continue taking advantage of online learning opportunities to maintain and supplement the momentum of the classroom.
“We have partnered with Michigan Virtual for many years for our summer programming, “ says Sandra Brock, Ph.D., director of instructional programs and services, Northville Public Schools. “Our families love the quality of the courses, the amazing instructors, and also the flexibility that Michigan Virtual offers through their online platform.”
Summer courses and programs allow students to have structured learning time to help them keep their minds active, bridge knowledge gaps and prepare for the next school year.
