The Flex Program
Every student is unique, which is why Destination Career Academy offers a flexible and adaptable regular schedule. Some students may require additional independence and autonomy, and to support this, we provide a flex program for our students and their families.
What is the Flex program?
The Flex Program at Destination Career Academy is designed to provide students with a personalized learning experience that caters to their unique needs and lifestyles. Families participating in the program have the flexibility to set their schedules and structures for learning.
Core Benefits for Students and Families
There are lots of reasons to choose Flex to fit your family’s needs. Here are some of the main benefits students enjoy:
Learn on Your Schedule
Adjust learning times to fit your family’s routine. Whether your child is an early riser or learns best in the afternoon, Flex allows you to create a schedule that works for your family’s lifestyle.
Stay on Track
Certified Teachers are available to answer questions, provide encouragement, and offer content and curriculum assistance.
More Flexibility, Same High-Quality Education
Students in the Flex program receive the same rigorous curriculum as those in DCA synchronous classrooms. Families no longer have to choose between structure and freedom—Flex offers both.
A Solution for Busy Families
Whether balancing extracurricular activities, medical needs, travel, or other commitments, Flex ensures learning fits seamlessly into your daily life.
How Our Flex Program Works
Students cannot begin in the Flex Program; however, they can join after successfully completing a quarter at Destinations Career Academy of Wisconsin. While in the Flex Program, students must maintain a C average.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Flex program differ from the standard program?
Both Flex and standard programs are open to students in all grades. The main difference is in the amount of teacher-directed learning. In the standard program, teachers provide group instruction through online synchronous classes, which students are expected to attend. While both programs require daily attendance, the standard program is best for students who need live instruction from their teachers and those who value time with their peers.
Is the curriculum the same for the Flex and standard programs?
Yes, students complete the same rigorous curriculum in both programs. Like all students, Flex students access the OLS for their courses. Students in the Flex Program are required to attend the live weekly homeroom sessions on Tuesday and Thursday.
How often do Flex students receive support?
All classroom teachers are available via email and offer office hours throughout the week for all students. Students with IEPs receive all the services called for in their plans, including specifically designed instruction time with special education teachers.
