Academics
At FlexTech, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of learning experiences for students, all of which lead to meeting the standards of the Michigan Merit Curriculum. We are committed to breaking down the walls that make school seem like a place that students don’t belong or can’t succeed. We transform it into a place where students are always engaged and can find academic, personal and social success in high school and beyond.
Makerspace
Flex Tech High School aims to instill in its students a love of learning and wants school to be a place for students to explore real problems in a creative environment. In line with the belief that students learn best by doing, we invested in a state-of-the-art makerspace. Makerspaces are community studio spaces where people gather together to build, share resources, experiment with new tools and technologies, tinker, and create. Our student-makers tackle challenging tasks and work together in teams.
