Enrollment is open this week for the 2022 school year at the Michigan Great Lakes Virtual Academy (MGLVA) is an online public-school program of the Manistee School District, serving students across the state of Michigan.

At the career learning-focused school, students can pair a solid academic foundation with hands-on learning experiences in growing career fields like Business Management, Health Science, Finance, Cybersecurity, and Marketing. Whether their path leads them directly into the workplace, to the military, or to higher education, career learning provides students with the skills they need to get there.

The 2022 school enrollment season comes in the midst of yet another COVID surge nationwide, leaving parents scrambling for ideas. According to some reports, more parents than ever are looking at ongoing online options for their families.

“After safety, the one thing parents in Michigan want for their children in school is consistency. MGLVA has been doing this for 9 years and have the staff, systems, and curriculum in place to keep your child moving forward, no matter what happens next,” said Kendall Schroeder, Head of School at MGLVA.

An online public-school program, MGLVA is available tuition-free to students in grades K-12 who reside anywhere in the state. Many families and students choose MGLVA because it provides an alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar education.
