Online School for Newark Families | Forest Trail Academy
Your family’s situation is a little different from the typical Newark household — and that’s exactly why you’re here. Whether you’re a University of Delaware faculty family juggling a research schedule, an international family settling into campus life on Main Street, or a business family commuting between Newark and Wilmington who needs something that bends around your life, Forest Trail Academy was built for exactly this. You deserve a school that keeps up with you, not the other way around.
Why Newark Families Choose FTA
Newark is a university city, and the families here are used to thinking differently about education. Many parents at UD — from the Biden School of Public Policy to the College of Engineering — have seen firsthand what rigorous, self-directed learning looks like. FTA mirrors that mindset: your student sets the pace, digs deep into subjects that interest them, and earns a diploma that any admissions office will respect. For families on Elkton Road or just across the border in Avondale or Kennett Square, PA, FTA also solves the cross-state school district headache entirely. One enrollment, no district boundaries, no transfers.
Newark’s proximity to Wilmington means a lot of families here work in finance, law, or corporate headquarters — Delaware’s famously business-friendly environment draws executives whose schedules don’t run on a school bell. If your student travels with you to Wilmington for meetings, or you’re relocating within the I-95 corridor, FTA’s open enrollment means there’s no gap, no scramble to re-register, and no lost credits. Families near Newark Charter School or Cab Calloway School of the Arts who didn’t get a spot in the lottery, or who tried traditional online options that felt like screen-watching, consistently tell us FTA feels different — because the coursework is genuinely challenging and the support is real.
