FTA is a great school, I loved its course, teachers and staff! Very serious, modern and committed. FTA you're the best!!!

I attended Forest Trail Academy for my freshman and sophomore years of high school. I am undeniably certain that I made the right decision taking these two years of school online. Forest Trail was my first experience with online schooling, and there are definite pros and cons.  Pros:  It's truly at your own pace. There are no deadlines (aside from finishing within the year) so you can work whenever you want to. This is nice for obvious reasons! The work isn't that difficult. Reading through the material gets a bit lengthy, but as long as you have common sense, it will not be difficult for you to pass.  Cons:  If you have inattentive teacher, you're really on your own. I worked best when I focused on one class at a time, and then I would move onto the next class. The final class that I had to finish my sophomore year was my math class. I messaged my teacher quite a bit asking for specific help on specific lessons. The teacher would take anywhere from 4-7 days to respond. And unfortunately, when she did respond, she refused to answer my questions. She would say, "please review the material". This was very frustrating because the material just didn't make sense to me, and my teacher refused to help me.  It's expensive. This is not a bargain by any means. You will definitely be paying a pretty penny to attend Forest Trail. Although, if it's worth it to you for a truly at-your-own-pace school, then it's worth it.  I stopped attending forest trail because of the price and my experience with my math teacher. But, I'm glad that I spent two years enrolled in this school. You could probably find a better deal out there, but Forest Trail is definitely an option that will get the job done. read more

This review is about my son's education in Forest Trail Academy. He had difficulty in math problem solving; I found the school was aggressive with the consistency of their classes. I was just inquired and found another of education is the online education. I found FTA, we discussed about the program to see if he is interested in it. He has chosen to do it, all the previous credits are counted in the online school and he had to finish what he wanted for gaining the diploma. I have given him a chance, which all will not give and get even, that has brought happiness to both of us. read more
