Online School Curriculum

At Michigan Connections Academy, we offer more than outstanding courses. We offer learning adventures.

In a typical MICA day, students may follow Jean Nicolet and Native American guides through the Straits of Mackinac in an award-winning textbook, chart the French explorer’s route to Lake Michigan with maps and compasses, and test their knowledge of Michigan’s geography in an interactive Teachlet® tutorial. Then they may discuss their “travels” online in a lively teacher-led LiveLesson® session. Later, when they meet for a class field trip to Fort Mackinac, students can connect to our state’s past and their MICA classmates.

By bringing together the best in print, online, and interactive resources from leading publishers with our own custom-designed tools and materials, our experts have crafted a multi-dimensional experience that engages students on every level, at every level. It’s an innovative online curriculum that:

  • Builds a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics.
  • Develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Adapts readily to different learning styles and paces.
  • Fuels the imagination.
  • Excites students about school and the infinite possibilities of education.
