We are launching High School @ MVCA this coming August for the 2021-22 school year. MVCHS will begin as a non-traditional blended model. This allows us to move into high school much earlier than in a traditional approach as well as to offer a unique high school experience in a time where families are looking for better options.
Features
The Best of Both Worlds
Blended Learning Delivery
With our online learning format, students are a part of a real community of learners with hands-on presence from caring, qualified teachers in the classroom.
- Online courses offered through partnerships with two Christian education providers
- Video or real-time based instruction from teachers rather than primarily text-based courses
- Opportunities to interact with other high school students from around the country and even outside the US
Built to Serve Our Students
Flexible Options
