William Dodwell ’26 is a senior at Forman School, a boarding and day college preparatory school in Litchfield, Connecticut, that serves students with identified learning differences. From his first conversations with teachers during his campus tour, it was clear that Forman offered the academic support he needed for his ADHD, along with a welcoming community.

As a boarding student, William quickly found a strong sense of belonging. Spending time with friends in the dorms is one of his favorite parts of campus life. “It’s like a sleepover every night,” he says, describing the close friendships that make Forman feel like home. Having his sister, now a sophomore, join him on campus has made the experience even more meaningful. 

Beyond the classroom, athletics have played an important role in William’s journey at Forman. He completed four seasons on the Boys’ Varsity Soccer team and served as captain for two of them. This past fall, he earned multiple honors, including the United Soccer Coaches High School Senior Excellence Award and recognition on the 2025 Coaches Association All-State Small Prep Team. He plans to continue playing soccer in college, where he intends to study business. 

William feels well prepared for life after high school, having grown both academically and personally at Forman. Through executive function coaching and individualized support, he strengthened his reading skills, refined his time management and study habits, and developed confidence in his independence. Most importantly, William reflects, “I learned how I learn and what’s best for me.”
