Online Learning Opportunities
Montrose Community Schools: Online Learning Opportunities The Montrose Community Schools is committed to providing a first-rate educational experience for all of our students. We also recognize that in some situations and under certain circumstances, a traditional classroom learning setting may not always be the best fit. With that, the Montrose Schools also offers online learning opportunities through a variety of programs approved by the Michigan Department of Education.
