What is the program model?
FLEX classes are held before or after school once or twice a week. Each class meets for one hour. Sessions can be from 10-30 weeks long, depending on the wishes of the individual school.
FLEX offers classes in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, and American Sign Language (ASL). All schools do not offer all languages.
Class levels include kindergarten, grades 1-3, and grades 4-6. There is a maximum of 15 children in a class. FLEX PTA representatives organize the classes at the school level following the guidance of the FLEX specialist and the guidelines of Fairfax County Public Schools, Adult and Community Education.

From parents:
"The boys learned through a variety of methods – songs, games, word memorization, etc. I feel that they came away with a strong introduction to the language, and they are interested in taking Spanish 2."
"Our children loved it and also learned a lot which we feel is a great accomplishment for a teacher after these young children have been in school all day."
"The class was well organized, and my son enjoyed it very much. She is a superb teacher who created a wonderful curriculum."
