Welcome to Miacademy’s Online Learning Curriculum

At Miaplaza, our mission is to make education an accessible and enriching journey for every student. We’re passionate about creating the best environment for home education, where stress fades away and learning can thrive. 

Whether you’re supporting a student in public school, are taking your first steps, or have been on this path for years, your child’s education is our priority and we’re here to help!

Who We Are

Our team of experienced educators is committed to providing an engaging and accessible educational experience for all of our homeschooling families. Miaplaza is the parent corporation of the K-12 online curriculum providers Miacademy, Always Icecream, and Clever Dragons, as well as MiaPrep and MiaPrep Online High School. 

Our homeschool programs are highly customizable, effectively motivate students to learn, provide real-world learning opportunities, and offer a safe social platform for students to share their learning with their peers. Our dedication to quality, accessibility, and outstanding customer service makes our accredited homeschool curriculum the top choice for over 100,000 homeschool families and counting!

Our Accredited K-8th Curriculum

Accreditation is one of the best ways for a parent to vet a potential curriculum to ensure that their child will be receiving a quality education. Accredited homeschool programs require a third party to approve the curriculum based on rigorous academic standards.

Miacademy is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS-WASC) as a Supplemental Educational Program (SEP). Our program’s built-in flexibility allows you to use it as your core online homeschool curriculum or to supplement your child’s primary schooling. From kindergarten to middle school, every lesson is packed with exciting opportunities to connect our learning program to the real world. 

Our Accredited High School Curriculum

Our 9th-12th site, MiaPrep, is also fully accredited by the ASC-WASC and is a great choice for a core or supplemental program. MiaPrep prepares high school students for life and higher education and comes with all of the flexibility and customization benefits of asynchronous homeschooling.

For a more connected online high school experience, we now offer our private school MiaPrep Online High School (MOHS) in addition to the classic MiaPrep curriculum. Our online school allows high school students to meet with real teachers and advisors, join student clubs, and earn a high school diploma upon graduation. Your child’s education is our priority, and we’re here to help!

Our Features

With so many curriculum options available, it can be difficult to choose! When you homeschool with Miacademy, you’ll get to enjoy unparalleled customization, thousands of engaging lessons across all subject areas, and peace of mind with our 100% secure online community feature. Last but not least, all of our memberships are all-inclusive, providing these great features without hidden fees.

Customization

One of the greatest benefits of homeschooling is the flexibility in course content and scheduling. Our online homeschool program’s customizability preserves the freedom that our homeschool families value. Our curriculum is endlessly adaptable to meet your family’s needs and easily fits all homeschool styles! 

With Miacademy, each child has a personalized Learning Path tailored to their interests and abilities. Our Learning Path gives parents complete access to everything their child learns and includes all core subject areas, plus enriching electives. Our entirely self-paced curriculum meets students where they’re at with access to all grade levels. 

Make adjustments at any time to suit your child’s academic needs and any learning struggles, advanced skills, or learning differences. Enjoy effortless scheduling with our intuitive Learning Path, which automatically accommodates field trips and sick days.

Courses

With thousands of lessons available, there’s always something new for your student to learn at Miacademy! Check out our current course offerings below:

How It Works

A benefit of online learning is the ability for game-based learning, designed to keep children interested and eager to learn. With Miacademy, you’ll never buy another textbook again! Everything you need is available on our site, with videos, practice work, games, and assessments. 

The majority of the coursework is completed using a laptop or tablet and is graded automatically. We also include offline extension activities to encourage students to apply their learning in multiple ways. Our printable PDFs bring learning beyond the screen with fun hands-on activities for your student to explore. 

Most lessons start with an engaging teaching video, then increasingly challenging practice games and quizzes. Throughout their courses, your child can demonstrate their mastery with untimed assessments. When your child completes a lesson, the parent gradebook is automatically updated with their grade and time spent learning.

Our seamless online gradebook also makes record keeping easy! Simply print or download the detailed attendance, on-site time, and achievement score reports in your Parent Page to keep complete and detailed records of your child’s progress. Checking in on their progress can take as little as five minutes a day and can make a big difference!

Unique Community Features

In addition to our quality curriculum and endless customization opportunities, we also offer a community feature that sets us apart from the rest!

This optional feature is 100% secure and fully moderated by live managers. Here, kids can learn online social etiquette, express themselves creatively, and more.

Here are some things your child can do in our Community (with your permission):

• Chat with other members by posting and commenting on each other’s statuses
• Purchase and care for pets in our K-8 sites
• Create, buy, and sell clothing, furniture, and other items in a virtual store
• Challenge other members to the Dragon Race or other learning games in the Arcade
• Apply the curriculum by writing articles and stories for the weekly newspaper
• Join or start a team, then compete for the monthly top spot by completing games and earning Gold (our site currency)
• Send private messages to friends, send gifts to friends, and upload personal videos 
• Customize their MiniMe avatar and share their hobbies on their profile page

Our moderators review every word, uploaded video, and design before other users see them. In addition, our site helper “Mia” is always standing by to assist your child with questions or concerns. Your child’s safety is our top priority, which is why all of our online community is compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, and student accounts are never tracked for marketing or information purposes. Community access is totally optional, and settings can be easily updated from your Parent Portal.

All-Inclusive Memberships

What’s even better about our sites is that our memberships include EVERYTHING mentioned above! All members get unlimited access to ALL courses available on our site across all grade levels, plus access to community features and our powerful Parent Portal tools. We never have any hidden or annual fees or any features locked behind higher paywalls. Still have questions about how to homeschool online using our site?
