The FAR Academy provide a fun and engaging day that compliments the DT curriculum. Parents have commented on the increase in engagement in the subject, and students take home a professionally designed and built product at the end of the workshop day. Brent really knows how to engage and motivate students and leaves them with a great experience to draw on in their future studies.

I chose to come to The FAR Academy because it is an alternative way of learning and connecting with students. The FAR Academy supplies exclusive skills and experiences and lots of knowledge that I can use in many different ways. This is the only place in the country that has this type of learning which I really enjoy.

I chose The FAR Academy because it is the best form of education for me. The staff at The FAR Academy have done so much for me and the local skate scene. Keeping me skating and in the skate scene providing outlets and opportunities for me and my class mates, my extended family that do so much for me thank you.

I started skating not long ago but since I found The FAR Academy it has helped me so much it has helped me with my anger. They taught me to use that energy when I skate. Also the boards have all different designs and this is awesome because I love art so this inspires me. I can’t go to college or 6th form because the classes are too big I can’t concentrate and this gives me anxiety.

I never liked school or the idea of sitting down learning , The FAR Academy allows me to learn in a better environment and I can learn things by doing more practical things instead of just sitting in a class room where I can’t focus. There are no other courses like this so if it wasn’t for The FAR Academy I would have been at home doing nothing for the last two years.

The FAR Academy gives me a great opportunity to improve myself, learn practical skills and gain qualifications. They have a unique teaching method with interesting and engaging lessons without the constraint and pressure of traditional education.
