Why Choose an Online High School in Michigan
For many students, traditional school schedules don’t fit their needs or lifestyles. Michigan Cyber Academy (MCA) offers a tuition-free, accredited online high school that gives Michigan students ages 14–21 the flexibility to learn on their own schedule and at their own pace.
Students can complete coursework 100% online, with certified Michigan teachers available for support. Whether it’s catching up on credits, getting ahead, or balancing school with other responsibilities, MCA provides a flexible path toward graduation.
Step 1 — Check the Requirements
Before enrolling, students should review the basic requirements for admission:
- Must be a Michigan resident
- Must be between the ages of 14–21
- Must complete all enrollment forms and submit required documents
