ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

FlexSchool is a fun and challenging learning community for the neuro-diverse in grades 1-12 and PG. From our founder to our youngest student, we learn from each other and the world every day. Our students are gifted and/or twice-exceptional, meaning they process information differently. The standard school model often doesn't work well for them. FlexSchool removes the roadblocks to learning and offers individualized support so our students can succeed.

Much like our students find their tribe when attending FlexSchool, our employees often feel the same. Our staff are open, collaborative, bright, funny, and warm. A common statement made by our teachers is, 'I was this kid when I was in school and I wish FlexSchool had existed then!'
