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!'

About FlexSchool

FlexSchool is a private middle and high school that specializes in motivating and supporting gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) students. We individualize our coursework to accelerate when possible and decelerate when necessary, always celebrating strengths and meeting students where they are. Many highly creative, eager gifted students struggle to thrive in school. Some lose their confidence, their sense of purpose and finally their will to try. Twice-exceptional students experience similar challenges. Whether they are impacted by a specific learning disability, poor executive functioning, slow processing speed, ASD, anxiety, or even intense stubbornness to “do things their way,” they are stuck. Whether online or on campus, our unique approach of ability and discussion-based classes, small class size, and social and emotional support allows students to take risks and thrive in ways they haven’t been able to in their previous school environments. In addition, attending a school with students like themselves provides a space for students to find friends, practice social skills with a forgiving student body, and learn to appreciate and accept the quirks of others. FlexSchool is ...an accredited school providing a high-quality, discussion-based, experiential educational experience for students who want more. FlexSchool has two physical locations: Berkeley Heights, NJ, and Bronxville, NY. We have offered our innovative live online Cloud Campus for the last six years. ‘Without affection,’ J.V. Milne once wrote, ‘the schoolroom is a hard, forbidding place. With love, it becomes the next best place to home.’
