The Forest School has been the best decision we could have made for our youngest in high school. She came from a strict and structured religious middle school and needed something a little less anxiety-inducing. With TFS, she has learned valuable time management, learns what she wants at her own pace (she is took two sciences at once one semester!) and has room in her schedule after school to explore activities that she enjoys. Plus, Trilith is an amazing place to just go out after school and get some coffee and snacks if you are a teenager waiting for a ride home. We have enjoyed TFS so much and are so happy with the progress of growing and learning that our daughter has made!
