Eligibility Criteria
MCSD will allow any interested parents / guardians of MCSD students in the rising 9th or 10th grades the opportunity to apply to Lighthouse Virtual Academy for the 2022-2023 school year. Lighthouse Virtual Academy is not an appropriate instructional model for all students. Parents should carefully review the information on this website and consider whether LVA is an appropriate environment for their child. If your student was not successful doing the virtual option during the 2020-2021 school year, consider the Checklist for a Successful Virtual Learner and this website when making the best decision for your student. If you answered false on the checklist, virtual learning may not be an appropriate choice for your student. Additionally, students must have attained a 75% or higher on grades in all classes attempted during the 2021-2022 school year, be on grade level in Reading and Math, and no discipline incidents which resulted in suspension or expulsion during the 2021-2022 school year.
