The academic program at Forman School offers a college preparatory curriculum supported by a full-service learning center. Our goal is to provide an optimal learning experience for our students. To do this, we focus on “learning how to learn.” This begins with a faculty that fully understands the different ways our students learn. This common understanding of our learners is reflected in all aspects of our academic program.

In the classroom, teachers emphasize the requisite skills needed to grasp the lesson. Learning strategies and tools developed and perfected by students working with their learning strategist are then applied in the classroom. Courses are organized so that information is presented in discrete, manageable units. Teachers select appropriate content routines for each class and connect new information to previously learned information. The use of tools specifically created for and tested with students who learn differently improves success in the classroom.

Forman offers a wide array of courses in the traditional academic disciplines including English, mathematics, science, history, language and the arts. There are also numerous opportunities to pursue particular or special areas of interest. For a complete listing of academic courses view our 2010-2011 Course Catalog.
