What Is Michigan BookShark Virtual?

Michigan BookShark Virtual (MBV) offers online essential subjects, including Social Studies, Language Arts, Science, and Math, and online electives to students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. These essential subjects are FREE to families when they sign up through MBV. Families work one-on-one with our MBV Coordinator to customize the Level for their child(ren) and receive online grading and mentoring (progress checks) by MBV teachers and mentors. Families will have online access to the interactive BookShark Virtual platform, including the weekly schedule, videos, mapping activities, and assessments. Enrolled students will also receive an All-Subject BookShark package of materials, including novels, activity sheets, supplies for experiments, and so much more. MBV, Michigan BookShark Virtual, is an online homeschooling option that is offered through Berrien Springs Public Schools of Michigan.
