Washtenaw Alliance for Virtual Education (WAVE) is a public school that will launch in Ypsilanti, Michigan in Fall 2023. The school intends to serve 100 students at full enrollment across grades 6-8. WAVE offers a flexible, student-centered, project-based approach to learning for students who need an alternative to the traditional school model. WAVE is available as part of local Washtenaw public school districts’ participation in the Washtenaw Educational Options Consortium. WAVE is one of the anchor programs designed for students seeking a non-traditional school experience, through their home school district.
