Michigan Virtual Charter Academy is Ready to Help Students Get Back on Track

Michigan Virtual Charter Academy (MVCA), a full-time, tuition-free public-school program of the Hazel Park School District, is ready to kick off the new school year with a viable education option designed to help students reach their full potential. MVCA students and teachers will open their laptops to start the 2021-2022 school year today, September 7, 2021.

For most families, the new school year comes with cautious optimism. Many families realized during the pandemic that attending school online is a safe alternative that allows them to focus on their child’s future. According to a recent survey by Stride, Inc., 91 percent of parents agree that it’s important for their children to have multiple school options, including full-time online or a hybrid model that blends online and in-person learning. And almost two-thirds of parents would consider full-time online public school after their 2020 pandemic-driven virtual education experience.

Authorized by the Hazel Park School District and staffed by Michigan-certified teachers, MVCA offers a personalized approach to learning, delivering rich, engaging curriculum designed to assist students who seek alternative pathways to education, career and college. Despite wide-spread evidence of a “COVID slide” of learning loss for students in the U.S. during the pandemic, Stride K12-powered schools like MVCA reported lower learning loss rates than those reported in national studies. And in some cases, students enrolled in Stride K12-powered schools experienced learning gains.

“I am extremely impressed and proud of how our students persevered through the challenges of the pandemic; they never missed a beat,” said MVCA Head of School Randy Rodriquez. “I very excited and eager to launch another year of MVCA student success and achievement!”

Students choose online learning for a variety of reasons, including advanced learning, a bullying-free environment and the flexibility to support extracurricular pursuits or medical needs while maintaining a focus on academics. MVCA’s online platform gives students the opportunity to pursue their academic goals in a supportive environment and at an appropriate pace for their learning style.

Michigan Virtual Charter Academy is still accepting enrollments for the 2021-2022 school year. To learn more about MVCA and how to enroll, visit mvca.k12.com or download the Stride K12 mobile app for iOS and Android devices - where families can enroll, prepare for the first day of school and monitor students’ academic progress throughout the school year.
