Testimonials
We have said a lot about how our students learn at Fairborn Digital Academy. Our previous and current students have a lot to say on our behalf.
“I wouldn’t have graduated if it wasn’t for FDA. I broke the family cycle, I did it! I will forever remember how genuinely nice everyone was! They make school feel like home. I have never been so connected to my teachers before. I actually wish it didn’t fly by so fast, and I wish I could’ve started high school at FDA as a freshman.”
“… This school is more than just a school to me. We are a community and a team. It’s my home away from home. The teachers have been some of the best teachers I ever have. The counselor has helped me through a lot. The principal knows exactly how to run the place and make it fun…”
“This school has saved me from being a high school drop out. If it weren’t for FDA & the opportunity they’ve given me to do my work at home, I never would’ve been able to pass my freshman year; let alone get to where I am now…”
“Great school and my experience with them was great! The teachers genuinely cared about the students and I couldn’t have asked for more!”
“If it wasn’t for the school I wouldn’t have graduated.”
“We learned to celebrate our differences.”
The Digital
Experience
Our main goal is to offer online education programs available to high school students who require a less traditional learning environment. Each year Fairborn Digital Academy evaluates our students’ progress. It makes revisions to their academic programs to provide each student with the best online learning opportunity possible, to achieve academic success and fulfillment of high school course credit.

Male Teacher: Sometimes just being heard and listened to and understood is one of the major first steps and then being connected with them, so that they know that we know them and they get to know us as well.
[0:20]
Male Student: With Fairborn Digital Academy, they give me the opportunity to work and still come to school. I think it’s just amazing.
[0:27]
Female Teacher: I really agree with the school’s philosophy and having every student work at their own pace, because when I know that you’re on an IEP, you need to have that extended time or maybe if you’re really good at a certain subject, you need to be able to excel in it and move as quickly as you can, so you can focus on those subjects that you can’t do very well.

Having students work at their own pace and two teachers in every classroom I thought was so cool.
[0:55]
Male Teacher: So this is a program that if you come in and you’re self-motivated and you’re willing to work hard, you can be done with this program…your four-year high school diploma usually done in 2 or less.
[1:07]
Male Student #2: The greatest thing about this school, if you don’t understand the way they’re teaching you on the screen, they’ll have the math teachers go there’s another way to do it and if you don’t really understand that way, then here’s another one.
[1:18]
Female Teacher #2: There’s a positive, sort of welcoming atmosphere. I think the idea that you have a physical place to go to school but you can also do school from home is very crucial to student success.
[1:32]
Knowing that you can come in here and if it’s a safe environment. No matter what you look like, no matter how you think, how you dress, you are accepted and seen as someone who can be successful.
