ONGOING EnrollMENT For the 2025-2026 School Year
For the 2025-2026 school year, Capistrano Unified School District is excited to launch a flexible learning program at the beautiful Marblehead Flex Academy campus in San Clemente.
The Flex Academy will include: 100% in-person learning, 100% independent study learning, and a blend of both. The flexible learning program is designed for Transitional-Kindergarten through 5th-grade students who thrive in an independent learning environment but benefit from in-person instruction on a school campus for part of the week.
This flexible learning model is ideal for:
- Students with busy travel schedules
- Young athletes and performers
- Families seeking a personalized, adaptable education
