Jamie Fitzpatrick is President of MVU and says “we’ve served a lot of kids with health issues, gifted athletes that compete internationally, and a lot of kids who may have failed a course in their local school who need to make up credit.” But he says their audience is expanding. “We’re starting to see young people tell us that ‘I don’t have a health issue that’s preventing me from going to school,’” he adds. “’I’m not a world class athlete. I don’t have a learning disability. I’m just an average teen age kid and I want to take an online class because I think it might be an interesting way to learn.’” He’s says the next phase of the process will be challenging, but exciting. “We’ve got to figure out how do we think about this vision, that really is anchored around really good teachers making use of these incredible tools to help kids achieve at rates we haven’t achieved before.”
