This is an excellent online school. I didn't have any problem. My daughter is learning very well. Your child have to work about four hours per day and you have to be constant. I recommend this school.
By Santiago F.
I was debating between 4 and 5 stars. The program really is comprehensive and engaging. My son had to work relatively hard for his A+ average, which is great. There were a few minor technical issues with some of the links out of date but nothing big. I don't really like the way the time is counted in the attendance area since a lot of the homework is actually done outside of the time when the child is actually logged into Forest Trail. So, in effect, it may look like the child barely did any homework that day when he actually spent hours researching and writing an essay or paper. Overall I would definitely recommend it to other parents looking for a quality online homeschool program. I am confident that my son is learning more now than he ever did in public school.

Thank you for sharing your experience at Forest Trail Academy. Although we encourage students to maintain consistent weekly attendance, Forest Trail Academy does not have a required attendance policy. Our current attendance tracker is designed to log time spent online, as a courtesy to parents/students. We appreciate the feedback/suggestions and will take them into consideration as we are continuously looking to improve our system. Thank you!
We’ve been searching for an internet based school that blended both virtual teachers as well as us, the parents. This is exactly what we’ve been searching for. We are very pleased with Forest Trail Academy and plan to stay with the school for many more years to come.

I would recommend this company to anyone. The lessons are the same as my niece who is attending the actual school. Though Forest Trail Academy is online learning, you will get the benefits of those who are attending the actual school.

We're pleased to hear your daughter is doing great! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be part of her educational journey. We appreciate the feedback.
My daughter, who is in 10th grade really enjoys the online pace and I find the coursework challenging and interesting enough for her. Her instructors are in contact with her often, checking up on her and there to give any help.
