Held our grandson's credits "hostage"… 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.

An excellent alternative to traditional school! Great for those who want to be able to pursue their passion and studies at the same time. Forest Trail Academy offers an asynchronous and self-paced program. You are in control of your studies and you can access your classes anytime, anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. An excellent alternative to traditional school!

The overall experience of 4 years was… The overall experience of 4 years was very good. Every time I reached out for help, reply was given immediately with the perfect solution. There was a lot of independent learning with a very well devised program. I am very happy that my son was a part of forest trail academy

Perfect for our student athlete FTA was a perfect option for our student athlete. She was able to have a flexible schedule to travel and play her sport along with an academically rigorous curriculum. The teachers are top-rate and are there when you have questions/concerns. The work is not easy, but you will be most prepared for standardized testing and post-secondary education!

FTA isn't worth the money. I think most of these reviews were written by staff or owner. This is a self pace school, which is nice depending on what you're looking for. My son was assigned a teacher, but there's no contact with her or anything. I'm the teacher. They had an issue where the systems were down and my son wasn't able to do any work for two days, the school failed to notify me. When I called to inquire about what was going on, I was met with attitude and disrespect by Ken, the admissions associate. Ken explained he was upset about the system issues as well and that's why he was yelling at me, the consumer. He apologized for his tone, but continued to address me the same disrespectful way. I still don't understand why he had the right to be mad, when I was the one being cheated out of time and money. I reported him and haven't heard anything back yet. My son has already been accepted into another school next year and I can't wait to be done with FTA. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! There are better options for online education than FTA.
