Athletics

Athletic Director and alumnus Scott McCarty’s long history with the Forman School enriches each student’s athletic experience. “In my thirty years here, we have built a quality athletic program. Athletics at Forman are an integral part of community life. We work to instill involvement in interscholastic sports and in non-competitive sports as well. Success for our kids comes through learning commitment and believing in themselves. They learn how to handle the highs and lows of winning and losing.”
Required involvement in a competitive team or recreational sport works in conjunction with academic achievement and social well being to create a well-rounded individual. This balance of academic, social, and athletic pursuits is what makes the Forman student complete.
Coaches interact with students on many levels. Nigel Daniel, Coordinator of Public Funding, also coaches Boys Varsity Soccer: “Coaching is the highlight of my day. There’s a lot of positive, unspoken interactions in sports – true teaching moments.” Annie Crawford, Dean of Students says, “the undefeated seasons are the coveted rewards of top coaches everywhere. Less tangible treasures are the bounty which, for me, lends a magical quality to the privilege of coaching our young athletes. Win or lose, if you've taught a child to believe in himself, then you have successfully coached at Forman."

The Forman School belongs to the Housatonic Valley Athletic League.  The league comprises of the following schools: Chase Collegiate, Christian Heritage (Masters School of Simsbury, CT), Watkinson School, Harvey School and South Kent School.

Forman’s Outdoor Leadership Skills Program offers alternatives to traditional sports, such as rock climbing, recreational skiing, and snowboarding.
