Flex Days
Uwharrie Charter Academy’s students will understand the relevance of their daily learning by interning in local businesses and institutions one day each month on what we refer to as a Flex Day. Through partnerships with area businesses, universities, community colleges, and the North Carolina Zoo, students will have genuine experiences where problems or realistic questions are presented to them within a relevant context from our partners and they will be expected to apply their respective content knowledge to develop logical solutions and present those to their teachers, peers, and/or external audiences for critique. Students may work independently or collaboratively with classmates to problem- solve and connect conceptual knowledge to a real world scenario.
