Perfect for our student athlete FTA was a perfect option for our student athlete. She was able to have a flexible schedule to travel and play her sport along with an academically rigorous curriculum. The teachers are top-rate and are there when you have questions/concerns. The work is not easy, but you will be most prepared for standardized testing and post-secondary education!
