Our dual enrolled college classes are through fully-accredited Michigan colleges and universities. However, it’s important to check with the college you intend to transfer to, as not all colleges accept credits from all other colleges.

Because the MIPS program is so extraordinarily flexible, many of our students participate in time-intensive sports or extracurricular programs that they would never have time for in a traditional school setting. Many students also hold jobs. Our program allows them to work when and where they are able to.

Our mentors and counselors work with each student to design a custom-fitted learning pathway. Each student takes an initial NWEA assessment to determine their learning level. Using these scores as a starting point, the mentor and counselor will build a course schedule using curriculum, courses, and timing best suited to the student.

Students who qualify receive an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) based on their specific needs. Certified special education teachers are assigned to each child to provide individualized instruction and monitor progress. Parents are consistently informed and considered a key member of the learning community.

Yes! It’s our goal that every student who graduates from MIPS is equipped with the tools they need — whether through free dual enrolled college credits, cybersecurity and computer science training, or on-the-job trades opportunities. Explore our customized learning Pathways for details.

Our one-of-a-kind online arts program offers courses in piano, voice, guitar, art, and theatre. To enroll in an arts course, complete your application first. When your counselor meets with you to set your schedule, let them know which courses you’re interested in. Note: some courses fill up quickly, so apply early!

Students must be a resident of Michigan (have a Michigan address) to enroll. Many of our students travel extensively — our flexible online format allows them to stay on pace as long as they remain engaged and working in their classes while away.
