MVA Enrollment Guidelines and Admission Information 

Enrollment closes on August 9, 2024, or when maximum enrollment capacity is reached, whichever comes first.

Students in grades K-12 who reside within the state of Kansas are eligible to apply for enrollment in MVA. A virtual environment is a great educational option for students, but it is not the appropriate educational setting for every student.  It is important to consider your student’s needs to determine appropriateness.  Enrollment into Manhattan Virtual Academy is contingent upon, but not limited to, the following: 

• Accept only full-time enrollments; students may not be enrolled in another Kansas public school. 
• Families must submit a completed MVA enrollment application with required documentation. 
• The MVA administration team reviews each application. If accepted, education support services, modifications, and accommodations will be provided virtually. 
• Grades K-9:  Review of education records: 
• Student must be in good academic standing 
• Student must have positive attendance records 
• Student must have parent support and guidance throughout the day. K-5 parents/guardians can expect to spend 4-6 hours per day supporting their students and are required to be home during the school day. 
• Grades 10-12:  Evaluate transcript(s) to determine if applicant is within credit alignment of the MVA grade level requirement: 

Incoming sophomore = a minimum of 5 credits 

Incoming junior = a minimum of 11 credits 

Incoming senior = a minimum of 17 credits  

• Attend an online orientation prior to beginning online courses (new students and parent(s). 
• Students may enroll after the enrollment deadline based on administrative approval and available openings. 
• Adult students may apply at any time throughout the school year.   
• Homeschool and/or private school families contact the MVA office for guidelines.
