My son was having trouble in public education, because of their unwillingness to modify work for him. He was on medicine for headaches and stomach pain. When we started using FTA for his homeschool he dropped 2 medicines and no more headaches! The teachers are wonderful and accommodating. We are very pleased!

School was difficult to deal with and provided poor learning materials.

We regret to hear you were not satisfied with our program.
Forest Trail Academy was the educational program that kept our granddaughter at grade level for the two years she was at Pacific Life Therapeutic Boarding School. She actually graduated a semester early high school & is now in a local college program.

This was a fantatsic program. The courses were excellent content and prepared my daughter for college.

The curriculum and instructors were above adequate for the price except for math. The lessons had no connection to the tests. The instructor was unavailable and communication was impossible. Kahn academy, a tutor and our child’s motivation got her through math. The other instructors were pleasant and pushed her to excel. Recommend a complete revamp on the math and instructor.

Thank you for the review. While we are sorry to hear the math course didn't meet your expectations, we do feel it's important to note that many of our math teachers encourage students to utilize the Khan Academy resources and we even incorporate many Khan Academy videos into our math program. We appreciate the feedback and will take it into consideration as we are constantly working to improve our program.
This is a great program for children who have extracurricular activities and need to do schoolwork outside the normal school hours and cannot attend a “brick and mortar” school. My daughter was enrolled for one and one-half years, was challenged by the academic programs, and did well. Also, whenever I needed to talk to someone at the school to resolve various issues, the school representative resolved everything to my satisfaction each time.

My child is happier, less stressed and has finally found his learning pace since we decided to try FTA. Teachers are supportive and know how to give the child assertive feedback that encourages further learning and improvement.
