2024-2025 Academic School Year
MVUSD's Learn@Home operates under Independent Study guidance and, as such, we are able to provide home-based learning options that offer more flexibility than our traditional models. With varying levels of support, our programs are able to provide more customization that is student centered and takes into account a student's unique learning style, personalized pacing needs, and family circumstances which may require flexibility within a non-classroom-based learning environment. We work with our families to help design a program that best suits their scholar's needs and we can adjust and tailor as those needs change.
We strive to serve all learners, including students who have identified or suspected special education needs. Prior to determining if our non-traditional options are a good fit for your learner, we invite you to participate in an intake meeting with our counselor or site principal.
