From Fusion to FLEX: Discovery Schools’ Hybrid Program Gets a Bold New Name

After an impressive debut year, the innovative hybrid program known as Discovery Fusion is stepping into a new chapter with a name that better reflects its mission: DiscoveryFLEX.

After a standout first year of success, the hybrid learning program known as Discovery Fusion is officially rebranding as DiscoveryFLEX — a name that better reflects its flexible, forward-thinking approach to public education in Louisiana.

Backed by the highly respected Discovery Charter Schools network, DiscoveryFLEX is a tuition-free hybrid public school model that blends online instruction with on-campus support. Originally launched as “Fusion” in 2023, the program exceeded enrollment expectations and quickly gained a reputation for meeting students where they are — academically, emotionally, and logistically.

Now, with its official name change to DiscoveryFLEX, the school is embracing a new identity that honors both its growth and its guiding purpose.

Why the Name Change?

“The word FLEX just fits,” says school leadership. “It captures what our families love most about the program — the flexibility to learn from home, the option to get help in person, and the ability to build an education around the needs of the child.”

While the name “Fusion” spoke to the blend of virtual and in-person learning, the team at Discovery realized it didn’t fully express the benefit of that blend. FLEX, on the other hand, communicates empowerment, adaptability, and opportunity — all core values of the school’s mission.

What Stays the Same?

While the name is changing, the model is not. DiscoveryFLEX will continue to offer:

  • Certified online instruction aligned to state standards
  • Access to campus for tutoring, clubs, testing, and events
  • Individualized student support and family partnership
  • A tuition-free experience for Louisiana families

What’s new is a refreshed identity and stronger message to match the momentum that’s already building around this program.

What Families Should Know

This isn’t just a name change — it’s a reintroduction.

DiscoveryFLEX is the same high-quality program families have trusted since its launch, now with a name that speaks more clearly to its purpose. The rebrand also marks a new phase of expansion and innovation as Discovery Charter Schools continues to redefine what public education can be.

Current families will start seeing the new name in communications, signage, and branding throughout the summer. A public rollout will follow, but families were the first to know — because they’ve been the heart of this program from day one.
