Our students are on a path toward college and careers.
NMFA teachers deliver lessons via an interactive whiteboard as well as engage students via class and small group activities and discussions. There are key points during the day where students may be working individually or engage with supplemental products designed to enrich or remediate specific skills. Our teachers create curriculums that meld technology platforms with traditional methods to make learning efficient, effective and engaging.

We help students develop vital communication skills, while inspiring a love of literature. Our youngest students learn phonics, grammar, and comprehension skills and prepare for reading through multi-sensory activities. North Metro Flex Academy students comprehend and analyze both fiction and non-fiction texts as early as kindergarten.

Math
NMFA balances fundamental math skills with critical thinking and problem solving. Our active approach ensures students understand the realities that underlie mathematical concepts. Games and animations bring concepts to life, while challenge problems, regular practice, and review ensure mastery. We build from the concrete to the abstract as students move from basic skills toward algebra. Students also learn by seeing mathematical concepts applied to the world around them.
