Monroe Virtual Middle School
The Monroe Virtual Middle School (MVMS) is an online public middle school located in the US state of Wisconsin. The programme is approved by the School District of Monroe Board of Education and - unusually at this level - offers a three-year middle school diploma. MVMS is unusual in that it operates separately from its counterpart, the Monroe Virtual High School (MVMS); US middle and high schools are usually grouped together, at least in name.
Students progress using computer-based courses, print-based correspondence courses, independent study, and experiential credit-based options.
