Missouri Course Access Program (MOCAP)

The Missouri Course Access and Virtual School Program (MOCAP) has developed a catalog of virtual online courses for students. Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, any student in kindergarten through 12th grade enrolled in the Ferguson-Florissant School District who was also enrolled as a full-time student the previous semester will be able to take an entire course from any Internet-connected computer, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. MOCAP's mission is to offer Missouri students equal access to a wide range of high quality courses, flexibility in scheduling, and interactive online learning. Students may enroll in MOCAP courses for the fall and spring semesters. MOCAP is not available in the summer. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the State Board of Education oversee administration and quality assurance activities such as related content and delivery of courses. Local Education Agencies (LEAs) that provide virtual education outside of MOCAP are responsible for ensuring alignment and other statutory requirements are met.

To find the current DESE approved vendors, please visit the DESE MOCAP site. Course catalogs for each vendor can be found there as well.

Ferguson-Florissant School District's preferred vendors are Launch* and Edgenuity. Families are welcome to choose any vendor, however, please be aware, some vendors have Host school districts. This would mean that students enrolling in those programs would not longer be students of the Ferguson-Florissant School District, but of the Host school district.

**FFSD had a MOU (memorandum of understanding) with Launch prior to the change in the law, thus allowing students enrolled with Launch to remain students of FFSD.
