An Overview of the Mercury Online Educational Partnership Features
Mercury Online Education can provide school districts with customized, turnkey services enabling it to launch or expand a locally-branded online school program. These programs can be as comprehensive as a K-12 virtual school that serves an entire region or as focused as single course offerings for students within the district.

Delivering on Cost Efficiency and Simple Structure
Once the parameters of a custom program are developed, we provide our services with a simple fee structure based on the ADA number of students enrolled in the online school or the number of classes taken. We can support a program of 10 students or 30,000. And often times the cost of our turnkey solution is less than the revenue it brings to a district, which means you don’t have to sell the program, only the benefits your students will experience.
Plus, our involvement in the education of your students corresponds to higher scores on standardized tests, which can translate to your district receiving positive attention, both at the local and state level and in the news media. And of course, your students’ parents will be delighted as well.
