ALTERNATIVE PATHWAYS TAILORED TO STRENGTHS

For some students, a traditional high school setting isn’t the right fit — and that’s okay. The Flex Academy gives Forest Hills students the chance to continue their education in a flexible, nontraditional environment built around their individual needs. Whether a student is navigating anxiety, a mental health challenge, a significant life circumstance, or simply learns best outside a conventional classroom structure, the Flex Academy offers a supportive path forward toward graduation.

With smaller class sizes, flexible scheduling, and a dedicated team of teachers, counselors, and mental health support staff, students can re-engage with their education at a pace and in an environment that works for them.
