Online School for Salt Lake City Families | Forest Trail Academy
Your family’s schedule is unlike anyone else’s in the country — and Salt Lake City proves it. Utah has the highest birth rate in the nation, meaning many of you are juggling four, five, or six kids through different grade levels at the same time. Whether you’re a tech entrepreneur working out of Silicon Slopes, a competitive skier training full-time on the Wasatch slopes, or a large family looking for a curriculum that bends to your life instead of the other way around, Forest Trail Academy was built for exactly that.
Why Salt Lake City Families Choose FTA
Salt Lake City’s economy runs on ambition. With companies like Adobe, eBay, and Goldman Sachs operating major offices along the Silicon Slopes corridor — and thousands of startups launching every year — it’s no surprise that so many SLC parents keep unconventional hours. If you’re running a business, consulting remotely, or working shifts at a tech firm in Lehi or Draper, you need a school that doesn’t demand your kid be at a desk by 8 a.m. FTA’s fully asynchronous model means your student logs in when it works — early morning, late afternoon, or weekends — without missing a single lesson.
Then there’s winter sports. Utah’s Olympic legacy is real: Salt Lake City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, and the region still produces elite skiers, snowboarders, and speed skaters who train seriously from a young age. Families with kids competing at Park City Mountain, Snowbird, or through the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation know how brutal the spring competition calendar is on a traditional school timetable. FTA students keep up with coursework from the lodge, from the road, or from wherever the season takes them — without falling behind or fighting with attendance policies. It’s why we keep hearing from SLC families: this is the only school that actually fits our life.
