FlexSchool is an accredited private school where gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) students can develop their talents among intellectual peers in a nurturing learning environment. Our small, discussion-based classes combine engaging coursework with the executive functioning support and social-emotional learning that gifted and 2e students thrive on. 
Our Campuses

Why Choose FlexSchool?

Many highly creative, eager gifted students struggle to thrive in school. Some lose their confidence, their sense of purpose and finally their will to try. Twice-exceptional students experience similar challenges. Whether they are impacted by a specific learning disability, poor executive functioning, slow processing speed, ASD, anxiety, or even intense stubbornness to “do things their way,” they are stuck.

Whether online or on campus, our unique approach of ability and discussion-based classes, small class size, and social and emotional support allows students to take risks and thrive in ways they haven’t been able to in their previous school environments. In addition, attending a school with students like themselves provides a space for students to find friends, practice social skills with a forgiving student body, and learn to appreciate and accept the quirks of others.

The FlexSchool Story

Testimonials

    "FlexSchool has been a blessing. It’s tough seeing your child miserable every day when you drop him off at school. Now he’s happy to say goodbye and get out of the car!"

    “These are the teachers I will remember for the rest of my life.”

  • 9th Grade Student

  • FlexSchool Parent

    "We want to thank every member of the FlexSchool family for their constant belief in the mission and for their caring and supportive attitudes that allow our children to flourish.  What a gem of a place we discovered!"

  • FlexSchool Parent

    "I haven’t seen this smile since kindergarten."

  • FlexSchool Parent

    I cannot thank you enough for the transformation I see in my daughter! This past weekend I saw a child I hadn’t seen in years. On Saturday she agreed to go with me to Costco:-) we had fun shopping and then we went to eat at a Thai that she had never agreed to before. And she enjoyed it. She was not chained to her electronics we had fun together and even did a beautiful art project. 

    I am finding my daughter again and you, at FlexSchool, made it possible. 

  • FlexSchool Student

    "Thank you so much. This is the first year I haven’t despised school."

  • From FlexSchool Parent

    I truly am amazed at how the school balances all the critical learning with flexibility and understanding of each child's unique abilities.

  • Middle School Parent

    "My daughter already feels like part of a team. She can’t stop talking about FlexSchool and how cool the teachers are. She loved the spy museum and has shared some interesting facts with me. This morning she woke up at the crack of dawn and begged me to help her prepare. I could cry I am so happy to see this."

  • Parent of 10th Grade Student

    "I am amazed at the preparation, dedication, patience, and above all humor, of FlexSchool teachers."

  • Parent of 5th Grade Student

    My son just came bounding up the stairs, did a lap around the living room and called out  "She helped me finish my work. This school is so KIND!"

  • Parent of 5th Grade Student

    My son called me (unprompted) on my cell phone at work at 10:55 to report excitedly that:
    • He had done the required two math problems the said there was an optional third that he wasn’t choosing to do)
    • That he had gotten some right. And that even though he had made some mistakes he had, in his words, “stuck with it.”
    • And also that he was going to “blow my mind“ by reporting that “math was fun.”
    So thank you all for this auspicious new beginning. He shared with me and I wanted you all to hear it as well. I wanted to let you know that he seemed very happy and proud of himself.

  • Parent of 7th Grade Student

    "Our child is gifted, twice exceptional and simply wired differently than most kids. Their growth in all areas and satisfaction in their learning has surpassed all of our dreams for what was possible for our child in these challenging middle school years. With social-emotional support, individualized learning and small, discussion-focused classes, our child is thriving at FlexSchool, which they started in the middle of their 7th grade year at a time of psychiatric crisis. They now freely expresses their insatiable intellectual curiosity, participates joyfully in the life of the community and is consistently met by teachers and students alike. Flex pivoted seamlessly by creating a truly exceptional online program during quarantine, engaging them Monday-Friday 8-3 pm. We are deeply grateful to Founder Jacqui Byrne and Bronxville Director Lynne Henwood for their dedication to the 2E mission and to the Flex families. They are so much more than school directors. They are social change agents and thought leaders, having created a place for 2E kids to thrive. Ben Newman: I can't agree enough. FlexSchool welcomed our child and our family to join their learning community, providing us a lifeline from challenge to opportunity for growth and transformation. They opened our eyes to who our child is and the potential for who they can become with the proper learning environment. I highly recommend the school to anyone, and especially those who 'march to the beat of a different drummer.' I wish that I had had a school like this when I was their age!"
