Online School for Laramie Families | Forest Trail Academy
Your family is part of one of Wyoming’s most academically rich communities, home to the University of Wyoming, a campus known for world-class faculty, Division I Cowboys athletics, and a culture that genuinely values education. If you’re looking for a K–12 online school that can keep up with that standard, Forest Trail Academy was built for families like yours. Whether you’re raising a future UW Cowboy, supporting a child with a demanding training schedule, or living out in Albany County where the nearest school is a long drive away, FTA gives you a rigorous, fully accredited education that fits your life.
Why Laramie Families Choose FTA
Laramie isn’t a typical Wyoming town, it’s a university city, and that means parents here tend to hold education to a higher standard. FTA meets that standard. Our curriculum is Cognia-accredited, the same accreditation recognized by the University of Wyoming and colleges across the country. Several student-athletes who went on to compete in UW Cowboys programs started their high school years with FTA, because our self-paced model meant they could train hard without falling behind in the classroom. If your child is juggling practices, travel competitions, or a part-time job, they don’t have to choose between academics and what they’re working toward.
For families living outside Laramie proper, out in the ranching communities and small towns of Albany County, FTA removes the distance barrier entirely. You don’t need to drive into town for a decent education. Your son or daughter logs in from home, works through accredited coursework at their own pace, and has access to real teachers (not just auto-graded modules) when they need support. International faculty families at UW who’ve relocated mid-year also find FTA’s open enrollment especially practical, there’s no waiting for a new semester to begin. You can start any week of the year.
