Requesting an Online Course
Students and parents should reach out to their school counselor to begin the MVC course request process. This document outlines our basic process for determining eligible students. Please note the following before requesting an online course: Not all students applying for an online course will be approved. Some reasons for requesting an online course have a higher priority than other reasons. Additionally, some courses have a higher priority than others (such as one required for graduation compared to an optional elective). Please see your guidance counselor to begin the request process, discuss how credit will be attained at your local school, and consider all options.
Counselors - If you are interested in accessing a course syllabus for a particular course, contact your school's mentor teacher for more information.
Common Core State Standards
Our online English courses (English 1-4) fully comply with the Common Core State Standards. Each course includes detailed correlations to standards and covers all Common Core requirements. Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry also fully comply with Common Core State Standards currently, including statistics. Several Science and Social Studies courses have been updated to include Common Core topics from English / Language Arts and Math.
NCAA Eligibility
In general, if a face-to-face course in MMSD is NCAA-approved, the online equivalent is as well. Please discuss any NCAA eligibility questions with your school counselor.
