The Maine Virtual Learning Consortium (MEVLC) [is] a Maine-based, non-profit, collaborative and affordable approach to helping meet the needs of Maine high school students for good online courses that have strong in-person supports. The Consortium was formed as a program of MICDL, a non-profit with offices on the campus of the University of Southern Maine’s Lewiston-Auburn College in Lewiston. The Consortium’s initial school partner was Maine Regional School Union (RSU) 19, which provided both design and technical support for the launch of the program. (MEVLC is pronounced mev-lek.)
