Online School for Denver Families | Forest Trail Academy
If your family is based in Denver and you’re searching for a school that actually fits your life, you’re not alone. Whether your child is logging early-morning training hours before the sun hits the Rockies, you’ve relocated here for a tech role at Google or Amazon, or you simply can’t make a rigid bell schedule work anymore, traditional school wasn’t designed with Denver families in mind. Forest Trail Academy was.
Why Denver Families Choose Forest Trail Academy
Colorado’s outdoor culture is one of the best things about living here — but it creates a real tension with a conventional school calendar. If your kid is a ski racer training at Copper Mountain or Vail, they’re not just missing a day here and there. They’re following a seasonal competition schedule that doesn’t bend for Monday morning homeroom. The same goes for competitive cyclists grinding through mountain trail circuits or youth soccer players in elite club programs like Colorado Rapids Academy. With FTA, your child studies around their training blocks, not the other way around. They don’t have to choose between a world-class athletic career and a solid education.
Denver’s rapid growth has also brought in thousands of remote-working families from across the country, many of them employees or contractors tied to the tech giants that have set up shop along the Front Range — Google, Amazon, Palantir, and others. These families move on their own timelines, not the school year’s. And for military families near Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, PCS orders don’t wait for June. FTA’s open enrollment means your child can start school any week of the year, pick up exactly where they left off, and never lose academic momentum because of a move or a schedule change you didn’t ask for.
