The Ultimate Flex—Personalized Learning on Your Terms

Your student’s learning journey is unique. Whether you need more structure or greater independence, the Flex program at K12-powered schools allows students to control their own schedule and optimize their school day.1

How it Works

Students complete their weekly coursework at their own pace when it works best for them, maintaining regular contact with their assigned teacher for feedback and support.

Students in the Flex program aren’t required to attend live class sessions, except for specific academic support related to Special Education, English Language Learner (ELL) services, dyslexia support, or other school required sessions. They can also attend live virtual classes as needed and transition back to a more traditional online school model at any time.
