No student should have to choose between her faith and her future.
An educational support initiative for schoolgirls in Azerbaijan whose schooling has been interrupted by restrictions related to religious attire. We offer alternative pathways through Flexi Schools and our digital learning platforms, so that interrupted schooling does not become a lost future.
Education is a fundamental right.
“Education should open doors, not close them on the basis of conscience or faith.”
Flexi Schools affirms that education is a fundamental right and should never require a student to abandon a sincerely held religious conviction.
We stand with hijab-wearing schoolgirls in Azerbaijan whose access to education has been affected by restrictions related to their attire. No young woman should be compelled to choose between her faith and her future.
In response, Flexi Schools is launching an educational support initiative to provide affected students with alternative pathways through its schools and digital learning platforms, including access to international curricula, structured academic support, and recognised qualifications subject to applicable academic and accreditation requirements.
We also invite teachers, educational institutions, organisations, and volunteers to contribute to this initiative and help ensure that interrupted schooling does not become a lost future.
A complete pathway, not a temporary fix
Each student joins a full academic programme with the teaching, guidance and records she needs to keep moving forward.
International curricula
Study towards Canadian (Ontario) or American high school diploma pathways, delivered online by Flexi Schools.
Structured academic support
Live classes with qualified teachers, recorded lessons, and a named academic advisor who tracks progress each term.
English foundation
A preparatory English programme for students who need it before core courses, with support in Azerbaijani and Russian where available.
Recognised qualifications
Official transcripts and diplomas on completion, subject to applicable academic and accreditation requirements.
Supported places
Places are supported by donors and partners wherever possible, so that cost does not stand in a student's way.
Privacy and care
Family information is handled confidentially and seen only by the people reviewing the application.
