Bobcat Virtual Learning courses use curriculum from Lincoln Learning (K-5), EDynamic (6-8 electives), and Apex Learning (6-12 core course and 9-12 electives) or curriculum that was developed by Grand Blanc Community Schools. These classes are facilitated by a GBCS teacher and follow GBCS grading policies. Teachers are often available for face-to-face/Google Meet interactions and are employed by Grand Blanc Community Schools. These courses are housed in Canvas and should all be available in one location.
If a course is not available through our BVL curriculum, students may choose courses that are provided through an outside vendor. These use a variety of different curriculums and are acquired through the Genesee ISD GenNet Portal. They use Michigan certified teachers, but they are not directly employed by Grand Blanc Community Schools. We do not oversee them, and they may not follow the same grading policies and expectations of other GBCS schools. In addition, they may not observe the same breaks that our students have. This means that students will need to pay attention to deadlines and possibly work ahead. These courses are not housed in Canvas, which means students will have to log in to different systems to access them.
