Hyflex: Hybrid & Flexible Education Policy 2021-2022
Flexible, personalized and communicative learning is essential to prepare our students for a world that is constantly and unpredictably changing. HyFlex, which adapts to changing conditions and allows a flexible structure, expresses a dynamic process where transitions can be experienced between models and scenarios (face-to-face, remote, hybrid) and consists of a combination of the words hybrid (Hybrid) and flexible (Flexible).
The Hyflex Education Policy is a document that defines the roles and responsibilities of our teachers, students and parents, reflecting our perspective and approaches on the delivery of education with a multi-channel approach and the integration of technology into educational environments.

2019-2020 and 2020-2021 Academic Years
As the Covid-19 pandemic impacted all aspects of our lives, it also led to a big transformation in schools, prompting educational institutions around the world to adopt a new educational design that is in line with the paradigms of the 21st century. The current situation requires education to be planned and implemented with a multi-channel approach. Hence, in the framework of its mission and principles, Hisar Schools have prioritized models that allow for a flexible and communication-based structure that can be adjusted to all kinds of changes and challenging conditions without any compromise to the scientific approaches. In accordance with these priorities, we stated in our strategic plan that all academic processes are to be planned and implemented in line with the blended learning approach that can be defined as combining face-to-face and online learning tools and strategies to improve learning.
In 2019-2020 academic year, we maintained the distance learning model until the end of the academic year, switching to the emergency distance learning period on March 23, 2020 due to the pandemic. After the schools were closed on March 13, 2020, at Hisar Schools, we made a quick and efficient transition to the distance learning procedures on March 23, 2020 thanks to the digital systems and the enhanced technical infrastructure we had already been using as a natural part of our academic processes. Within the scope of this transition, we managed to migrate the entire educational ecosystem to digital environment, along with analysis, planning, and design steps, all of which we had been handling with the utmost care, and successfully carried out the implementation process. At Hisar Schools, we are proud to have maintained 120 school days with face-to-face learning, and 65 school days and 26,328 hours with distance learning. Thanks to our students’ wide participation, we completed all the subjects and obtained each acquisition in our curriculum. Please click for detailed information about the distance education program implemented in our school between 23 March-26 June 2020.
In 2020-2021 Academic Year, alongside ensuring a flexible system that allows for a quick adjustment in the curriculum and practice processes, new practices are also implemented in various matters including the enhancement of measures and checking of health safety and new hygiene habits, redesigning the ceremonies and gathering events where students come together, and providing support in case of absenteeism. As part of the measures taken against the pandemic, our Back to School plans concerning how the education will be implemented in the 2020-2021 Academic Year are summarized in three different scenarios: Schools Are Open – “New Normal”, Hybrid Learning Model, Distance Learning Model.
At Hisar School, we have laid the groundwork for all these scenarios and we have also taken measures on the highest level that would ensure the health and safety of our students and employees on campus.
