Oakland FlexTech Academy is hosting an information session for parents and prospective students to learn more about the school’s unique programs. It will be held Tuesday, January 22 from 5:30-7:30pm at 24245 Karim Blvd. Novi, MI 48375.

At Oakland FlexTech Academy, Novi’s brand new charter school, students are the architects of their own learning. The academy challenges students to define their high school experience and create their own path to graduation.  Realizing that each student learns differently with unique interests and talents, FlexTech is committed to providing an individualized and highly relevant educational experience for all students.  FlexTech students are immersed in an authentic learning environment through Project Based Learning, flexible scheduling, and positive relationships with their teachers and peers - all within a technologically rich environment. Oakland FlexTech believes that educating the 21st century student requires that we rethink what’s possible from our schools.   We invite you to explore our vision for high quality, global education in the digital age and reconsider your expectations of high school. Oakland FlexTech Academy is a tuition free public high school located at 24245 Karim Boulevard in Novi and serves high school students in grades 9 thru 12. Two hundred students will be accepted for the 2013-14 school year with capacity ultimately reaching 400 in future years. 

Oakland FlexTech Academy is for the student who wants school to be a place where they can explore their interests, get support from caring adults and experts, seek out new challenges, embrace technology and prepare for the future.  Charter schools are independent public schools of choice for parents and students and continue to be a popular choice for students seeking an alternative to traditional public schools. They do not charge tuition, and there are no admission requirements to enroll students.
