Program FAQs
Is Classical FLEX a homeschool hybrid program?
No. Rather than augmenting homeschool education with a few days of traditional classroom instruction, the Classical FLEX Program centers around 3 days of teacher-directed learning in a highly engaged classroom environment. The 2 FLEX days focus on augmenting prior classroom learning, preparing for future classroom engagement, or assessing overall student progress.
Will the two FLEX learning days be all online instruction?
No. While the instructional model will leverage technology where appropriate, the FLEX days will entail robust learning through reading and engaging texts and primary source material, writing and reflection, reinforcement of skills learned in the classroom, fine arts classes, vocational learning, tutoring if needed, and remedial instruction and academic support. The regimen of instruction will differ depending upon which schedule option the student is enrolled in. The 5-day on-campus option will be more structured and robust in content and opportunities for learning. Efforts will be scrupulously taken to keep screen time on computers to a reasonable level and utilize the myriad of other means for learning and engaging the curriculum.
Can students switch between the 2 schedule options?
Yes and no. Parents can choose to switch their student’s schedule to a different option at each semester break. Additionally, there will be a brief “add/drop” period at the start of each semester when schedule changes are permitted. After the “add/drop” period concludes, parents and students must complete the semester according to their current schedule.
Students in both schedules will also receive an allotment of FLEX Day Vouchers each semester that will allow 5-Day students to take a remote learning day, while 3-Day students can use a voucher to spend a FLEX day on campus.
Will 3-Day students be allowed on campus on their FLEX days?
Yes, but ONLY during specific time blocks that require them to be on campus. Examples include meeting with teachers during their office hours, participating in scheduled extracurricular activities (sports, rehearsals, clubs, etc.), attending a scheduled tutoring session, etc. Students who are not enrolled in the 5-Day schedule option will not be permitted to “hang out” on campus during FLEX days.
