Wake County magnet schools create well-rounded students by challenging them with programs tailored to their strengths and exposing them to new experiences. Each theme offers the standard curriculum using a specialized instructional delivery model. These innovative and pioneering programs challenge students to think creatively and analytically to solve problems, while a diverse student body can inspire innovation by allowing students to see things from different perspectives. Wake County magnet schools provide students with the tools they need to see things differently. 

Crossroads FLEX is a digital, blended learning school serving students whose outside interests and activities require considerable amounts of time during regular school hours, known at Crossroads FLEX as “pursuits”. This can include students who are highly competitive and/or active in the arts, sports, or have other obligations such as extensive work schedules or family commitments. Partnering with North Carolina Virtual Public Schools, blended learning is using both online and in-person learning experiences when teaching students. Students work independently on online lessons, projects, and assignments at home and at Crossroads FLEX. Students meet with teachers to review their learning progress, discuss their work, ask questions, or receive assistance with difficult concepts while meeting a required amount of seat time. The vision of Crossroads FLEX is to guide and graduate students whose individual pursuits empower them to emblazon change upon the world.
