“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 really worth it. We’ve entrusted our children to Forest Trail Academy for the last five years for their education, and we’ve never regretted it. We can’t say enough about Forest Trail Academy.”

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.
