    • If your elementary or middle school student was in an advanced level course at his/her most recent school, please contact your student's MNVA school counselor. Previous school records will be reviewed. Course-specific teachers and/or administration may also be involved to determine course placement at MNVA. Please keep in mind that schools may call courses by different names.
