Monroe Virtual Middle School
The Monroe Virtual Middle School (MVMS) is an online public middle school located in the US state of Wisconsin (for grades 6-8). 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 also 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.

Course providers are Brigham Young University, the University of Missouri and the North Dakota Center for Distance Education.
