Welcome to ATX Learning

Welcome to Chippewa Valley Schools! As one of Michigan's top school districts, we serve more than 14,500 students in grades K-12. The Chippewa Valley School district has won several National, State, and County awards and is recognized as a leader in K-12 education.

At Chippewa Valley, continuous school improvement is a top priority. Curriculum councils and school improvement teams, composed of teachers and administrators, continuously work to update teaching strategies, develop new programs, and keep our curriculum aligned with state standards.

CVS received district accreditation by Cognia, the highest assurance of quality schools.

From pre-school through to our award-winning high schools, our students are learning in state-of-the-art facilities featuring 21st-century interactive learning tools. Thanks to the generous support of our community every classroom is equipped with interactive LED SMART Boards, document cameras, DVD players, and sound systems. Teachers have access to desktop computers as well as a Windows 10 tablet. Traditional computer labs and wireless laptop carts are available at each school to complement the curriculum.

This technology is designed to enhance the learning environment for all students while providing access to developing technology skills so important in our world.

With the closing of schools in March 2020 and federal dollars related to COVID-19, the district has been able to implement a one-to-one computer program in grades K-12 and financially sustain it for 10 years. Implementing a one-to-one allows the district to address issues of access and equity by providing all students with a consistent device that is compatible with district programs.
