Online School for Boulder Families | Forest Trail Academy
If your child is training for their next triathlon at 5am, your family is living the Boulder startup life with unpredictable schedules, or you just want a rigorous academic program that doesn’t force you to fight Canyon Boulevard traffic twice a day — Forest Trail Academy was built for you. Boulder’s pace is unlike anywhere else in Colorado, and the right school should keep up with it.
Why Boulder Families Choose Forest Trail Academy
Boulder sits in a unique spot: you’re in one of the most educated cities in America, where CU Boulder sets a high academic bar and parents know how to research every decision thoroughly. You’re not looking for a shortcut — you’re looking for a program that can match your child’s potential. FTA’s Cognia-accredited curriculum is designed with exactly that standard in mind. Courses are rigorous, transcripts transfer cleanly, and a diploma from FTA carries the same weight at University of Colorado Boulder or Naropa University as one from any accredited private school in town.
Then there’s the Boulder lifestyle reality. Whether your teenager is logging 80-mile cycling weeks on the Diagonal Highway, your family works remotely for a tech startup on Pearl Street, or you simply value the flexibility that comes with living outside a rigid nine-to-five world, traditional school schedules weren’t designed for you. FTA’s fully asynchronous model means your student can study at 6am before a trail run in Chautauqua, finish coursework after an afternoon climb at the Flatirons, or work ahead during a slow week to bank time for a weekend race. Your child’s education fits around your life — not the other way around.
