Summer 2023 – Michigan Virtual High School Courses Offered at Reduced Cost - Improving a Grade or Taking for the First Time
This option is for a student who has or will complete 8th grade before the summer of 2023 and was enrolled in Ann Arbor Public Schools during the 2022-2023 school year and wishes to seek new credit, retake classes from a previous term, or take a course(s) to advance their curriculum. This special cost-saving price is to encourage our students to engage in learning this summer.
- This option is available to any student enrolled in Ann Arbor Public Schools during the 2022-2023 school year.
- AAPS students may choose up to two online classes during the summer term at a special reduced cost savings of $100 per course.
- The class(es) taken during the summer term will earn both credit and a grade. There are no extensions or incompletes during the summer term. There is a drop period that ends 5 days after the course starts. Please note that withdrawals will not be accepted except in new extenuating circumstances. Once the drop period has passed, a grade will be earned for the course. Students need to be committed to learning and not take a course to “try it out”.
- The Michigan Virtual summer term is 10 weeks long, May 19 - July 28, 2023.
- Each online course is considered to average 80-100 hours depending on the student. We equate that to an average of 15-20 hours per week. Students taking two courses will be committing to 30-40 hours of studying a week.
Regular Summer Options for Non-Ann Arbor Public School Students
- Students who were not enrolled with Ann Arbor Public Schools during the 2022-2023 school year, homeschool students, and students from outside the district may enroll in up to two online classes each summer.
- A2 Virtual+ will provide a mentor for each enrollment with Michigan Virtual and will provide an Ann Arbor Public School transcript with a grade for the course. It is the responsibility of the student and/or parent(s) to ensure that their district will accept the credit.
May 19th - July 28th
The last day to enroll in Michigan Virtual courses is June 30th.
(Drop period is 5 days after enrolling)
