Forest Trail Academy is a top accredited online K-12 school in the US, trusted by over 10,000 students worldwide.
We provide a premium and flexible online education that empowers kids all over the world
At Forest Trail Academy, we understand that academically gifted and advanced learners need more than traditional classrooms can offer. Our accredited online high school is designed specifically to challenge, inspire, and support students who thrive when given the freedom to move faster, explore deeper, and think bigger.
Unlike rigid brick-and-mortar schools, our flexible platform offers a dynamic and intellectually engaging environment. Gifted students are empowered to accelerate, customize, and enrich their education—earning a U.S. high school diploma in a way that matches their full potential.
Gifted learners benefit most when education adapts to them—not the other way around. That’s why Forest Trail Academy offers asynchronous learning, customizable course tracks, and accelerated progression options. Whether your child wants to graduate early, explore a passion for advanced science, or prepare for Ivy League admissions, our accredited program provides the structure and freedom to make it possible.
Gifted students thrive when given the chance to learn at their own pace, follow their interests, and access deeper academic material earlier than peers.
At Forest Trail Academy, we offer:
Personalized pacing: Move quickly through familiar subjects or take your time with more complex topics.
Flexible schedules: Learn when you’re most focused—morning, night, or in between enrichment activities.
Advanced content: Access high-level coursework, AP classes, and honors options starting as early as Grade 9.
Interest-driven learning: Choose electives and projects that align with your passions—from computer science to creative writing.
Real-world scenarios supported:
Finish high school by age 16
Conduct independent research or build a portfolio
Participate in music conservatories, math Olympiads, or internships while enrolled
Gifted learners often lead busy, multidimensional lives—and they need an education that fits. Forest Trail Academy’s platform is 100% online and accessible on PCs, tablets, and smartphones, allowing students to learn:
On their own schedule, free from fixed school hours or semesters
From any location—at home, while traveling, or between enrichment events
Alongside passions like science fairs, coding competitions, or dual-enrollment college courses
You won’t miss out on opportunity just because you’re not sitting in a classroom.
Forest Trail Academy is the perfect fit for students who are:
Identified as gifted or highly capable
Pursuing early college enrollment
Independent and self-motivated learners
Interested in high-level academic challenges and real-world readiness

“Wonderful interactions with the teachers and administrative staff. The website and access to assignments lessons and videos could use more development. But overall it’s been a positive experience for my child and our family.”

Forest Trail Academy is the best online school I’ve ever seen! My son Michael is currently finishing 5th grade and we plan to continue studying at this school further. We are Israelis, so English is a foreign language for my son. My son goes to a regular Israeli school and is additionally studying at the FTA.
