Online School for Indianapolis Families | Forest Trail Academy
Your family’s life in Indianapolis doesn’t slow down for a school bell — and it shouldn’t have to. Whether your teen is logging hours at Indianapolis Motor Speedway chasing a dream in motorsports, or your family relocated to Indy for a research role at Eli Lilly, or you’ve built a strong homeschool tradition right here in Marion County, Forest Trail Academy gives your child a fully accredited K-12 education that works around your real life. FTA puts you in control of the schedule so your student can pursue what makes Indianapolis home — without falling behind academically.
Why Indianapolis Families Choose FTA
Indianapolis is a city of driven people. The motorsports culture around the Speedway means plenty of kids are training, competing, or apprenticing with teams from a young age — and a traditional school calendar just doesn’t fit that life. At the same time, Eli Lilly’s global headquarters brings international research families to the city who need a school that travels with them, accepts prior coursework, and doesn’t reset a student’s progress every time a parent’s assignment changes. FTA handles all of that. Our open enrollment means you can start any week of the year, and our self-paced courses mean your student moves forward on their timetable, not the district’s.
Marion County has one of Indiana’s strongest homeschool communities, and many local families already know that a one-size classroom isn’t the only path. FTA builds on that spirit — adding Cognia accreditation, certified teachers, and a diploma that every Indiana university accepts. Families connected to Fort Harrison’s military history and the current VA presence in Indianapolis also find FTA invaluable: when a PCS order comes through or a parent’s service schedule shifts, your child’s enrollment and credits stay intact. And with the NCAA headquartered right here in Indy, student-athletes in the city understand better than most how demanding a dual commitment can be. FTA’s flexibility makes it possible to compete at a high level and graduate on track.
