NCS Homeschool Flex

List of 5 items.

• How is Homeschool Flex different from regular Homeschool?

  Both programs use a parent-led homeschool academic model, but Homeschool Flex adds on-campus connection.
  
  In Homeschool, families complete learning fully at home with parent-led instruction and flexibility in pacing and engagement.
  
  Homeschool Flex includes the same parent-led academics, with added opportunities for students to participate in on-campus community, activities, and events alongside their peers. Homeschool Flex is designed for families who want the flexibility of homeschool with the option for campus connection and community.

• What campus opportunities are available via Homeschool Flex?

  Campus opportunities for Flex students vary by grade level.
  
  Elementary Flex students may participate in select on-campus experiences, such as specials, chapel, school-wide events, recess, lunch alongside peers, and after-school clubs. These opportunities are structured to support supervision, connection, and a positive elementary experience.

  
  Secondary Flex students may participate in chapel, clubs, missions opportunities, athletics, fine arts, and school-wide events such as assemblies and dances. Some opportunities require a commitment to regular attendance, practices, rehearsals, or events.

  Families receive details about available opportunities and expectations prior to participation.

• Are athletics and fine arts available to all students?

  All elementary students may participate in virtual clubs and virtual fine arts opportunities, such as creative showcases and community events. These experiences allow students to explore interests, build community, and engage creatively in an online setting.
  
  

  Elementary Flex students also have the opportunity to participate in select on-campus specials alongside other Flex students. These experiences are designed to support enrichment and community while remaining developmentally appropriate.
  
  

  All secondary students may participate in virtual fine arts opportunities, including events and creative showcases such as the NXNW Film Festival, Great Crusaders Cookoff, Crusaders Got Talent, and contributions to the Come and See Journal.

This may include athletics, auditions for school plays and musicals, school film productions, the Eyewitness podcast, drama series, and other fine arts experiences as available. Students who choose to participate are expected to commit to required practices and games, as well as rehearsals and performances, just like on-campus students.
