MVP: Middie Virtual Program
The Middie Virtual Program is a personalized learning experience for students in grades 7-12.
The Middie Virtual Program (MVP) is a hybrid model for Middletown students in grades 7-12. As part of the Middie Modernization Movement, the program will transform the current Midd State into MVP and offer opportunities for middle school students and greater flexibility for College Credit Plus (CCP).
