About Our District Partnerships

Increase academic options AND revenues with a turnkey online program powered by
Mercury

Mercury Education offers districts, educational coops and individual schools the opportunity to expand their current programs and serve additional students through customized online options. Working within the structure of your institution, Mercury can develop a turnkey program that may range from a full service school to supplemental courses that complement existing programs. Best of all, the fees for this program are straightforward and based on a per pupil or per course rate that doesn’t require a minimum number of students or a start-up investment to launch.

Customized to Fit Your Needs

Mercury Education is proud of our ability to customize programs to meet the specific needs of school partners. Our turnkey services are blended in to your school’s program with your local identity and brand. Your customized program may include a new, full-scale online school or just provide online course options. Contact us today and we can discuss your needs and provide strategic options.

Strategic Solutions that Make an Impact

Here are just a few of the Mercury strategies school districts can use to increase academic options, enrollment, and net revenues:

  • Establish a new contract or magnet online school to recapture enrollment and revenues lost to competing online programs
  • Add AP and credit recovery classes
  • Develop a dropout recovery strategy incorporating online learning
  • Provide summer school using online courses
  • Serve students unable to attend school can take courses from Mercury with highly qualified instructors, certified in content areas, instead of/in addition to working with a hospital/homebound teacher
  • Serve students transferring from a school with a different curriculum sequence
  • Schedule students in Mercury classes to alleviate overcrowded classrooms
  • Expand the offerings for Gifted and Talented students or offer the academic core online to a select group of students.
  • Blended Learning – Schools may want to purchase a Mercury class and allow a new teacher to use as much or as little of the online course as needed
  • Alternative Education – Schools may use Mercury to serve students who are in an alternative education setting
  • Advanced Placement courses – Schools can use Mercury to help students get ahead in their progress toward college
  • World Language – Schools can use Mercury to help students meet both high school graduation and college entry requirements
