RICHFIELD, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Minnesota Flex Academy (MNFLEX) is currently accepting enrollment applications for the 2017-18 school year. MNFLEX serves students in grades 5-8 and currently provides bussing in the Richfield, South Minneapolis and Bloomington areas.

With the blended learning environment provided at MNFLEX, students receive instruction both independently online and with support in a traditional classroom. Particular online resources are designated for students to meet their individual needs. Online coursework helps students move through subjects that they have mastered, while students needing more help on lessons use class time to work through course material with instruction from state-certified teachers.

“Our mission is to provide a personalized learning experience for every child and prepare students for independent responsibility,” said Tora Townsend, Head of School at Minnesota Flex Academy. “We offer an educational journey unlike any other in an innovative environment where we are focused on the success of our students.”

MNFLEX offers a college preparatory curriculum with required core classes along with art and physical education as elective courses. Class sizes are small and vary depending on student needs. This gives students the flexibility to work independently or the opportunity to work directly with a teacher when needed. MNFLEX also offers a variety of student-centered clubs.

Minnesota Flex Academy will host a number of in-person open houses and information sessions in the coming months. For more information, please visit the school website at http://mnflexr.k12.com.
