Forest Trail Academy makes the grade for educators (home school, charter, or alternative schools) seeking a proven platform for distance learning and online learning.
To compete in today's fiercely competitive academic environment, high schools must offer online courses as well as augmenting traditional classes with web-based support. Creating a successful distance learning solution, however, requires expertise and resources you may not have in-house and can't afford to obtain. Outsourcing is the answer. For maximum success, it is imperative to find an e-Learning solution with the features you need to quickly deploy and cost-effectively manage courses to ensure students a top-quality online education.
Forest Trail Academy puts e-Learning within reach of any high school, home school, alternative school or charter school-no matter how large or small. We offer a better way to deliver e-Learning: |

Forest Trail Academy delivers everything you need for online learning programs that augment your traditional classes and expand your student base.
Students take the same core courses they would in a traditional high school, meeting requirements in English, mathematics, science, social studies, and health. At the same time, students are provided the opportunity to take dual-credit, and Advanced Placement courses, as well as specialized courses that local high schools may not offer.
While students are generally encouraged to spend one hour on each course five days a week, they may log into the system 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Students use online research and communication tools to supplement their lessons, and turn in assignments electronically, receiving feedback from instructors within 72 hours. Parents can check grades online. Students progress at a much more rapid rate when they have access to their courses 24 hours a day 7 days a week. |

WHY US? |
|
|
Our online high school is an asynchronous learning tool, so students can get online any time, night or day. The only difference from a traditional classroom is that you can't see the other classmates. You have voice over IP, you have a whiteboard section. Students can text message each other, or draw on the whiteboard and write out equations, and teachers can upload presentations for students. We make sure that these tools create a powerful and effective learning experience for the students.
Diplomas from Forest Trail Academy are recognized by many of the leading institutions of higher learning across the country. Students spend as much time on the online courses as they would in a traditional high school. Full-credit courses generally require about 180 contact hours, or 36 weeks, to complete.
Several programs help parents stay connected to their children's education. Parents can arrange opportunities for their students to get together with other students, and at regional meetings students, parents, teachers, and staff get together to discuss the program.
What's amazing to watch is the quality and the level of interaction that students are engaging in. Parents always worry whether or not students are getting the interaction they need, but these students are interacting in really powerful, meaningful ways. |

Attitude |
|
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who make excuses and those who get results. An excuse person will find any excuse for why a job was not done, and a results person will find any reason why it can be done. Be a creator, not a reactor. |
