A Day in
the Life
Our students don’t have a typical day at Fairborn Digital Academy. Our unique programs offer them a variety of choices. We encourage them to learn on their own and to work together in groups. Some students take an accelerated path by getting a head start on college. Whichever path our students choose, they have our support and our staff to get them prepared for whatever challenges they face.
Each student will have an entirely unique experience, but all will have fulfilling results. Find more information on the daily happenings of Fairborn Digital Academy by visiting our News page.
The Parent Experience
Parents can support their students by working closely with our experienced, dedicated team of guidance counselors, accountability coaches, and teachers to monitor progress and provide guided support.
Parents are a facilitator of their child’s education, partnering with school staff to ensure that students are on track and prepared for their future steps. Fairborn encourages parents and guardians to be involved in their student’s development, and we invite you to tour our facility, meet our teaching team, and ask questions.

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.
“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.”
“… 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…”
