For the 2025-2026 school year, Capistrano Unified School District is excited to explore the option of 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 Kindergarten through 5th grade students who thrive in an independent learning environment but also 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

What’s staying the same

Our traditional learning program will continue as it is now. Students currently enrolled at Marblehead will still attend school five days a week and be taught by our dedicated teachers—no changes to your child’s schedule or experience.

What’s new

Families will also have the option to choose one of two Independent Study programs:

100% Independent Study

Students learn entirely online from home.

Flex Program

Students complete Independent Study work but come to Marblehead three days a week for support, activities, and social time (PE, music, lunch, recess, etc.).

These options are ideal for families who value flexibility and have students who thrive in independent learning environments.

Join Us to Learn More

Since this is a new program, we value community input in shaping its structure. Join us for an informational meeting on Thursday, May 1, at Marblehead. Meet the administrators and learn more about the structure of the program and how it can potentially benefit your students.
