Online School for Miami Families | Forest Trail Academy
Your family chose Miami because it opens doors, and your child’s education should do the same. Whether you’ve moved here from Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Haiti, or Jamaica, a Cognia-accredited US diploma from Forest Trail Academy gives your student the credential that universities and employers across the country recognize and respect. And if your child is booking modeling gigs in Wynwood, filming a spot for Telemundo, or auditioning at a Coral Gables talent agency, FTA’s fully flexible schedule means their school fits their career, not the other way around.
Why Miami Families Choose FTA
Miami private schools like Ransom Everglades, Gulliver Preparatory, and Miami Country Day charge $25,000 to $45,000 a year, before uniforms, activity fees, or the hour-plus commute crawling down US-1 or I-95 during peak hours. FTA gives your child the same rigorous, accredited K-12 education at a fraction of that cost, with zero traffic. Your student logs in on their own schedule, from Brickell, Hialeah, Doral, Kendall, or wherever your family calls home, and moves through coursework at a pace that actually fits your life.
Miami’s international community also means many families are navigating complex situations, dual households, extended travel back to home countries, or parents working non-traditional hours in hospitality, healthcare, or the port industry. FTA’s open enrollment and asynchronous model means there’s no waiting list, no geographic restriction, and no semester start date to time perfectly. Families who’ve transferred from schools like G. Holmes Braddock Senior High, Miami Palmetto Senior High, or Southwest Miami High consistently tell us the transition is smoother than they expected, and that their kids are less stressed and more focused within the first month.
