SFT is a school unlike any other. Education experts, informed by extensive research, have been increasingly writing and talking about the paradigm-shifting school of the future that our nation needs as soon as possible, one that effectively provides the education necessary for today’s youth to thrive in the rapidly changing adult world they’ll be entering.

Accordingly, SFT students learn what’s necessary to achieve success and satisfaction in today’s and tomorrow’s world, and they learn in ways and in a structure that optimizes each student’s development, accomplishment, and growth.
