FLEX PROGRAM ADVANTAGE

As of September 2023, the Flexible Schedule, Blended Learning (FLEX) program will be moving to its new home at Estey School. The FLEX program will become its own school and will allow students in grades 6 to 12 to participate in skill development in athletics or the arts outside of traditional school offerings while receiving a quality education in a flexible, blended learning environment. The program is designed for students who would benefit from a flexible schedule due to training for an athletic or artistic activity during regular school hours. The program provides students with face-to-face instruction, as well as online learning opportunities, to accommodate alternate schedules so students may pursue their passions in the arts and/or athletics.

DIVERSE COMMUNITY

Students come together from in and around Saskatoon to form a community of learners at Estey School, where they share their passion for the arts and/or athletics. Current and former students in the FLEX program participate in the following activities: cello, choir, cross fit, dance, diving, equestrian, figure skating, gymnastics, hockey, rhythmic gymnastics, squash, swimming, track and field, wall climbing and weightlifting. Any student in grades 5 to 11 who dedicates time to an arts or athletic program outside of school is eligible to apply for the FLEX program.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Due to the individual needs of each artist/athlete, we welcome you to book a time to meet personally with our FLEX team and ask any questions you may have. Application forms can be found on the FLEX program website.
