Personal Curriculum
A Parent/guardian of a student may request a personal curriculum for the student that modifies certain
Michigan Merit Standard requirements. If all of the requirements for a personal curriculum are met, then
the Board may award a high school diploma to a student who successfully completes his/her personal
curriculum even if it does not meet the requirements of the Michigan Merit Standard. Please contact
your student’s counselor for more information. Additionally, more information can be found at the end
of this catalog.
Personal Curriculum Options
A Personal Curriculum is an option a student or family can explore as a way to modify certain
Michigan Merit Curriculum (MMC) graduation requirements. It is intended to meet individual
learning needs, allow students to earn a high school diploma, and provide preparation for life after
high school.
A Personal Curriculum can be recommended by school personnel or requested by a parent or
legal guardian, a student of age 18, or an emancipated student. A Personal Curriculum must be
supported by a parent or legal guardian, meet the individual needs of the student, and be
consistent with the post-secondary plans documented in the student’s Educational Development
Plan (EDP). State statute allows personal curriculum modifications in order to:
•
Go beyond the academic credit requirements by adding more math, science, English language arts, or world language courses; or by completing a department-approved formal
career and technical education (CTE) program.
