If at all possible, providing students real-time learning experiences with able, caring and invested educators is the preferred goal of the Grosse Pointe Public School System. But there are instances when Michigan Virtual High School (MVHS) classes might be appropriate for some students.  These courses can offer flexible, self-directed learning opportunities. If students are interested in these virtual-learning experiences, a conversation with their current counselor is required. The counselor can discuss the MVHS option, compare it with other options, and help the student make a decision that best fits his or her need. Students who choose to take a MVHS class are also assigned a mentor who will monitor their progress to help them achieve success in the class.
