Niles Virtual School welcomes all learners currently enrolled in Niles Community Schools or families from Niles or other districts interested in seeking a virtual option. We offer full time schedules, additional electives for current Niles learners, or part time schedules of non-essential classes.
The Niles Virtual School is a parent/guardian led program.
What does that mean?
Parents/guardians will be expected to monitor their learner's progress and encourage them on their learning journey. Parents/guardians of learners in grades K-5 will need to be actively involved as their learners navigate courses. Older learners will need less oversight, but every learner needs a cheerleader and parents/guardians fill that need best. Lessons are asynchronous which means that there will NOT be a live instructor giving instruction at specific times each day.
This allows learners to progress at their own pace during the semester.
Niles Virtual School assigns teachers who are actively and deeply involved in your child's learning. You can expect regular emails, phone calls and google meets with your Niles teacher.
We have classrooms available to meet with teachers if you choose that option.
Some of our courses are created by our own teachers and some courses are provided by vendors with our teachers monitoring learner progress. All courses have been vetted through our curriculum department and have then been board approved. You may find a list of Niles Community Schools course offerings on our district home page or any school website.

We believe families utilizing Niles Public Schools should have options in education and are dedicated to providing them. Our courses provide additional choices for full time students both in mode of delivery and content. Our courses are designed to provide parents/guardians the added benefit of customizing their student’s schedules.
We believe homeschooling is a viable option for some students in our community, and we hope our varied choices will compliment your student's education. We respect your decision to be the primary educator for your children. Our non-essential courses are supplemental, designed to enrich your homeschooler's experience.
Private schools are a valuable resource in Niles, and we hope our flexible schedule will meet your needs too. Our courses can similarly augment your student's private school schedule.
Our offerings are part of Niles Community Schools' vision to support the learning of every student residing in our district and beyond. Extending our educational support beyond the school walls and into Michigan is a small part of a larger plan to develop and grow Michigan into a vibrant state.
All courses offered through Niles Virtual School are available to any full time, home school or private school student whose residence is in Michigan and who is enrolled in Niles Community School district.
