My son attended Forest Trail Academy for three years - 10th, 11th and 12th grades. He enjoyed the flexibility of the asynchronous courses and being able to work at his own pace and create his own schedule. The curriculum is rigorous, especially in humanities (in particular, English, world history and government courses). One is required to do a lot of reading, research and writing which is actually good since it prepares one well for the future college workload. The teachers are knowledgeable and responsive. The diploma is recognized; my son was admitted to multiple colleges in different states and ended up going to the University of Florida. However, there are several aspects that can be improved. The web-site is slow, and on some occasions it was hard to upload assignments or even open the pages within the web-site. Some links to external sources are broken, and some courses contain information that needs to be updated with recent events in mind. Hopefully, these things will be addressed since the market for online schools is getting pretty competitive. In general, I would recommend this school to any family who is looking for an alternative to a traditional brick-and-mortar school for any reason or as a homeschool curriculum.
