New Charter School Coming to Novi

Oakland FlexTech, Novi’s first charter school, is expected to open in Oakland County this fall. 

The school will replicate FlexTech High School in Brighton, which opened in 2011, according to the Oakland Press.

At the Brighton location, classes are done in 90-minute periods twice a week--more similar to a college schedule than a traditional five-day schedule like most high schools.

And while the Brighton Flex Tech offers the standard Michigan Merit Curriculum courses, it also offers students interesting electives, such as video game design and computer programming classes, according to a previous Brighton Patch report.

Flex Tech classrooms generally have 10 to 15 kids per class, so kids are in a smaller, more intimate setting with their teachers, according to the Brighton Patch report, and kids are encouraged to work at their own pace.

Interested Oakland County parents should call 810-844-3366 for more information about the Novi location.
