Flex Friday speakers encourage Alfred Rush Academy students The Flexible Learning Center (FLC) 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 students' progress. Flex Friday is a program where speakers are invited from the community to engage with the students, topics ranging from peer pressure, time management, career choices, overcoming obstacles, etc. In the past, Alfred Rush Academy has hosted a wide range of professionals including attorneys, military, police, occupational therapist, and industrial technicians. So far this year we had the opportunity to hear from Chaquez McCall, Esq. He is one of the youngest licensed attorneys in South Carolina. McCall is a former student of Alfred Rush Academy who did not let obstacles get in his way and stop him from achieving his goal. He presented a few interesting legal scenarios to the students to ignite their interest in the law. He closed with encouraging them to excel and a commitment to helping them reach the heights he was able to reach.
