Online School for Savannah Families | Forest Trail Academy
If you’re raising kids in Savannah and the local school schedule just doesn’t fit your life , whether you’re a military family at Fort Stewart waiting on a PCS order, a parent working shifts at a hotel on River Street, or a young artist juggling auditions and portfolio prep , you already know the traditional school calendar wasn’t designed with you in mind. Forest Trail Academy is a fully accredited K–12 online school that works around your family, not the other way around.
Why Savannah Families Choose Forest Trail Academy
Savannah has one of the most distinctive creative communities in the South, largely because of SCAD , the Savannah College of Art and Design. If your child is serious about getting into a program like that, their middle and high school years are critical for building a portfolio, attending workshops, and developing their craft. A rigid 8am–3pm school day makes that nearly impossible. With FTA, your young artist or performer can structure their academics around studio time, lessons, and competitions , not the other way around. And when the time comes to apply, SCAD and Georgia’s other top universities fully recognize FTA’s Cognia-accredited diploma.
For military families stationed at Fort Stewart or Hunter Army Airfield, the unpredictability of service life is real. PCS orders can drop with weeks of notice, and re-enrolling in a new school district every move is exhausting for both kids and parents. FTA solves that completely , your child stays enrolled in one school no matter where the Army sends your family. And for parents working in Savannah’s booming tourism and hospitality industry , hotels, restaurants, event venues along the waterfront , your shifts don’t follow a 9-to-5 pattern. FTA gives your kids a school schedule that bends to match your household, not fight against it.
