About

Manheim Central Online Learning Academy

MCSD is committed to implementing strategies to enhance the education of our learners through the Manheim Central Online Academy (MCOA). The online learning experience allows for anytime-anywhere learning. The district is also committed to meeting the unique needs of each learner.

We strongly believe in keeping our online learners involved through relationships, opportunities, and experiences. As such, Manheim Central learners may participate in school events, activities, and athletics. Additionally, all Manheim Central online courses are facilitated by a Manheim Central teacher who assists in enhancing the online learning experience. They also receive a Manheim Central diploma at the end of their senior year. If a learner wants to return to the physical classroom, we will work together to ensure a seamless transition back to one of our school buildings.
