Desired Skills
FlexSchool teachers are creative, enthusiastic, and curious. They enjoy the rewards and challenges of working with gifted young people and with those who may also struggle with some learning differences. Flexibility and innovation are essential in a FlexSchool classroom. Instruction includes small seminars for personalized learning and acceleration when necessary.
FlexSchool is a highly collaborative environment as teachers work with each other, the Head of School, learning specialists, and other FlexSchool campuses to create lessons and plans that allow each student to academically soar. Professional development is an ongoing learning process from a trained staff of professionals.
