“The Forest School Online has been a wonderful educational opportunity for my son. The school is learner lead and this approach has taught my son so much about the important life skills of time management, being accountable, and being a self starter. The leaders and staff are friendly, approachable, dedicated, and diverse. The learners log in from all over the US and the world which gives my son a glimpse into the daily lives of people very far from our little farming town. I feel that The Forest School Online is well equipping my son for higher education, if that is what he chooses, and life in general. I highly recommend this school.”
