Also approved in another state

The same business appears on these official lists. Each state approves providers on its own, so families should check the program they're paying with.

How Forest Trail Academy gets paid

Families order and pay through ClassWallet. Here's what happens on the provider's side, from ESTF's official rules. ChoicePaid doesn't handle payments.

  • After a payment is approved, ClassWallet emails you a confirmation and the money should settle in your bank account within 2 to 10 business days.1
  • Student applications for 2026-27 have closed because the program reached its statutory limit of 15,000 students. The Department's approved-provider list was last updated September 28, 2026.2
  • Families pay tutors, therapists and other providers through ClassWallet's Pay Vendor, and every Pay Vendor payment needs an invoice.3

Before you book

  1. 1Check that Forest Trail Academy has an approved offering for what you need in ClassWallet. Being on the list doesn't mean every service is approved.
  2. 2Ask what's included, the total price and any fees before you commit.
  3. 3If they bill you directly, make sure the invoice has every field ESTF requires. Build a compliant invoice
