What is the Enrollment Process at MVS?

Registration and Orientation

To register, families are required to view an informative video. At the end of the video, families can enter information to receive an email to complete the enrollment within two business days.

A family member is required to attend an orientation session to ensure understanding of the program. An adult in the home is expected to serve as a learning coach to support and assist children. For students to be successful, the adult is expected to monitor the student’s progress and stay up to date on communications sent from staff.

Transfer to In-Person

Students remain in the program for the full semester. If desired, they may transition to in-person learning at the end of a semester. Due to the differences in virtual and in-person curriculum, students cannot transfer during a semester.

Learn More

For more information, to view an informative video, and to register, visit the Milwaukee Virtual School webpage or call (414) 252-0241. All applications will receive a response within two business days. Email is the best way to receive a response during busy enrollment periods.
