INTENSE PROGRAM AND DIFFICULT TO REACH TEACHERS WHEN ASSISTANCE WAS NEEDED.

My daughter attended Forest Trails for her 4 years of high school (9th - 12th grade) but completed high school in 3 years. She will be attending Fordham University in the Fall. Thank you to her teachers - Ms. Boisvert, Ms. Marla Smith, Ms. Rachel Johnson, and Dr. Theresa Bogema.
I would recommend to anyone. Caring teachers and great administrative support.
FTA is the best school I have ever been to! The staff is very friendly, the teachers are always encouraging their students to thrive in their lessons, and personally, I enjoy how flexible the school is, so you can have fun and still score straight A's!
Administration was not willing to work with our views and beliefs. We will not be forced to participate in lessons having content that we find objectionable. They were unwilling to accommodate our needs which resulted in our going elsewhere and losing the time and money we invested in the program.

I have found Forest trails to be extremely reliable and lighting quick to respond to any questions we have even if we are abroad. My son has had a positive first time experience with online education and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for learning at their own speed however fast or slow that may be. My sons grades have improved immensely since he has started this program. Highly recommended
Great education. Great interaction with teachers and administrators when needed. Teachers ' availability prompt and highly accessible. Students set to succeed. Curriculum as tough as you want it to be for your kids. Positive feedback amazing for good performance and suggestions for improvement valuable. Rivals any IB programs out there with flexibility that frees up plenty of time for pursuit of extracurriculars and careers.
FTA is a perfect fit for our daughter. Wish we had found it earlier.
The best decision we've ever made towards our son's education!!
My child could not handle the curriculum due to mental health issues. No credit was earned we literally were enrolled less than 2 months. Wouldn't give me a refund or let me out of payments. Threatened my credit rating and to go to collections. Had to negotiate a "buy out" Spent hundreds for nothing. EDIT: They replied that they have a 5 day "window" for you to decided if the program is right for your child. Because five days is just such a generous amount of time. Please. My child earned NO credit, did very little work and I had to fight to get a "buy out" from full tuition. For what reason? We got NOTHING from them why would they feel they needed a full payment FOR NOTHING? Because they are greedy thieves that's why.

Excellent choice for online school
Good course material, great teachers...I would definitely recommend it.
So far, I am very happy with my son's education. We enrolled at the beginning of this year to help him get caught up in 2nd grade after a horrible public school experience. He has been able to get fully caught up and will complete 2nd grade in time for 3rd to begin in August.
After a lot of consideration, I've decided to keep him in Forest Trail since the experience has been so good. At age 8 he is able to log into the classes himself and get his reading done as well as lots of interactive videos. Then we do the written work together.
The curriculum is challenging, but not overwhelming. It also builds upon itself so each unit takes knowledge learned from previous units and applies to new concepts. I appreciate the fact that he is getting a solid foundation that still allowing plenty of time for him to explore other areas of interest for a well rounded education.
I highly recommend!
Forest Trail Academy is the best choice I could have made for my son’s education. All staff and teachers are supportive in his work and genuinely proud of his successes. I could not be more pleased with how easy everyone is to work with and how much they care about education. The curriculum is on par with skill development and challenge levels. I recommend Forest Trail to anyone who is considering the homeschool option for their child.

Without the wonderful staff and caring teachers at Forest Trail Academy, my son would not have been able to earn his high school diploma. He was able to complete high school, even after he turned 18. It was very challenging and prepare students for college

Liked the school, but there were a lot of typos in the curriculum and the pricing was kinda high.

The staff was very professional and caring. They answered all my concerns and provided me with all the resources that I needed.

Held our grandson's credits "hostage" when we chose to take him out after 8 months for financial reasons. He never got the credits and it put him farther behind in school. BEWARE! As far as their competence as an educational institute, they seemed fine.

This is a sub-par school. Very disappointed. The #1 most important stressed issue was NO PLAGARISM to the point that it was so time consuming to try to do anything that learning was subjugated. DO YOUR RESEARCH ask around and choose a program that is intuitive and easy to navigate. This one is NOT.
