Parent/Student Independent Study Project for Credit (Any Category)

Course Description: The staff at the Monroe Virtual MIddle School adheres to the principle that a sound educational program should develop within the student the desire and the ability to learn on their own. There are many other advantages to independent study. One is that it can be the springboard for lifetime study pursuing personal interests. Where better to begin this habit of pursuing personal interests than middle school. Once a student becomes motivated by something that interests them he or she can make use of many learning resources. The student is motivated by his or her own interests, not by the assignments of the teacher.

To earn one-half credit (0.5) the Parent/Student Independent Study Project should entail approximately 60 hours of work. To earn one credit (1.0) the student should complete approximately 120 hours of work.
