What is FLEX?
Mehlville FLEX is a student-focused, half-day academic program for motivated students seeking a unique challenge at Mehlville High School.
Students in the FLEX program can direct their learning by engaging in a competency-based program that allows learners to demonstrate proficiency in multiple ways. Students master the same curriculum objectives throughout the year with an emphasis on the transference of skills and connections between courses.
FLEX teachers strive to create opportunities for students to have a voice and choice to increase ownership of and accountability for their learning.
