The Fairborn Digital Academy (FDA) is an online public school located in the US state of Ohio. Opened in 2002, it provides education for students in grades 9-12.

In 2009-2010 it had 178 students enrolled and an average daily attendance of 146.

FDA is a nontraditional school designed to serve at-risk students who are not learning effectively in more traditional educational environments. Students study from home, although face-to-face meetings may become necessary.

Credit-deficient high school students may enroll in FDA to receive the required number of credits they need to graduate.

Fairborn Digital Academy "values individual differences and provides an alternative education to the traditional brick and mortar school for personal and academic excellence of at risk students."
