Learning Center at Alfred Rush Offers Flexible Path For Students Alfred Rush Academy has created the Flexible Learning Center (FLC). The Flexible Learning Center is a pathway for students to earn school credits that is different from the traditional school model. The FLC serves students who are interested in graduating early, need a flexible schedule, want to study in a smaller learning environment or have fallen behind their cohort. Courses are taken online using Gradpoint and Apex. Students work at their own pace and may complete work inside and outside of the classroom. Certified teachers are present to provide instructional help as well as monitor student progress. As of December 6, 2019, 16 students were able to complete over 40 credits through the FLC. Thus far, two students have completed graduation requirements; five students should complete all credits towards graduation by the end of first semester. An FLC student says “My experience in the FLEX program was incredible. I was given the opportunity to prove myself and fix the mistakes I made during my years in school. I really enjoyed how the program allowed me to move at my own pace. I was brought to this school because I failed my 10th and 11th grade years in high school. I finished my two years of school that I missed in less than a school year. I also enjoy the program because it is amazing for kids like myself that need one on one help more often. The teachers and administration are absolutely nothing but supportive. This school is an excellent experience to any kid who just don’t do well or aren’t comfortable in a normal school environment.”
