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
Every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed—no matter their past. Forest Trail Academy’s online high school program was created to give juvenile and at-risk youth a fresh start through flexible and accredited and judgment-free education. Our mission is to empower students with a safe learning environment that restores their confidence, supports their growth, and helps them earn a recognized high school diploma.
We understand that life can take unexpected turns. For students coming from juvenile detention, alternative education placements, or unstable home environments, Forest Trail Academy offers a path forward—one built on respect, structure, and the belief that every student has the potential to succeed.
At Forest Trail Academy, students aren’t forced into a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, they learn in a structured yet flexible online setting that fits their life circumstances. Our self-paced courses allow youth to move through lessons at a comfortable speed while receiving academic support when they need it most.
This flexibility is ideal for:
Students fulfilling court-ordered education plans
Youth participating in rehabilitation programs
Families transitioning to home-based schooling
Learners needing time to focus on emotional or behavioral growth
By reducing the distractions and pressures of a traditional school setting, our approach encourages students to regain control over their education. They begin to develop responsibility, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment that builds momentum toward graduation.
Forest Trail Academy is not just another online school—it’s a purpose-driven institution designed to uplift those who have been pushed aside by traditional education systems. We provide a safe, supportive space for:
Juvenile justice-involved youth: Students involved in detention, probation, or court-ordered programs
At-risk students: Those facing expulsion, chronic truancy, or behavioral interventions
Youth in alternative placements: Residents of youth shelters, foster care, or therapeutic settings
Our staff understands the unique challenges these students face. With compassionate guidance and a curriculum tailored to individual needs, we remove the stigma and pressure that often hold students back. Here, they are seen for their potential—not their past.

“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.
