FlexTech High School is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the FlexTech High School school district, located in Brighton, MI with about 271 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, FlexTech High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

FlexTech High School in Brighton, Michigan, is a public charter school that distinguishes itself through a personalized, project-based learning model. Unlike traditional high schools that rely heavily on lecture-based instruction, FlexTech emphasizes "student-centered" education, allowing learners to pursue their interests through hands-on projects that bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application. By integrating technology into daily curriculum and maintaining smaller class sizes, the school aims to cultivate self-directed, responsible students who are better prepared for the demands of modern college and career environments.

The school’s environment is designed to be flexible and supportive, focusing on the development of the "whole student" rather than just standardized test scores. Because the curriculum is highly personalized, students often have more agency over their own learning paths, working closely with teachers who act more as facilitators and mentors than traditional lecturers. This approach is intended to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, making it a popular choice for students who may be seeking an alternative to the rigid structure of a conventional comprehensive high school.
