For nearly a century, we’ve been an advocate for every student’s promise. Forman is a safe, welcoming, and diverse community where those who learn differently thrive.
From their first day at Forman, students learn they really matter. Classes average eight students, enabling teachers to closely track challenges and growth. A trimester schedule and adaptive curriculum help teens master core skills, while giving them flexibility to pursue subjects that excite them.
All Forman faculty receive ongoing professional development, and tailor teaching to meet each student where they are. Their classrooms are equipped with the latest assistive technology, from SMART Boards to iPads loaded with note-taking and speech-to-text apps. Twice-weekly meetings with faculty advisors enable students to take ownership of progress, with goal setting and action plans.
Cognition and learning are built into Forman’s curriculum, like any timetabled subject. Students succeed at their own pace—mastering metacognition strategies and reading principles and improving executive functions—without being isolated from other students. It’s inclusive empowerment.
