Online Curriculum

Quality Curriculum is KEY to Success

The curriculum used for Intersect Virtual School has been specifically designed for use in online instruction and time-tested for over a decade. Our curriculum is aligned to Michigan content standards and lays the groundwork for future academic success by:

Building a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics
Developing lifelong learners with analytical skills

Technology Makes It Possible

Intersect Virtual School uses Pearson Connexus, a proprietary technology built specifically for online instruction, which allows us to bring the classroom to any student via an internet connection.

Under the direction of our teachers, students access and complete coursework online, as well as submit some assignments via email. Students, teachers, and family members communicate through our own secure email system, on dedicated message boards, or by telephone. Our online grade book allows students and parents/guardians to track their progress at any time of day or night. Families can also monitor all students within the household easily from the system home page.
