We are excited to announce a change in focus for Forman’s Summer Reading initiative! Forman’s 2024-2025 summer reading theme focuses on the power of experiential learning and provides context to your student’s Winterim experiences.
Winterim has been a significant highlight in our curriculum and an opportunity for our community to engage in hands-on learning surrounding a particular topic. With this in mind, faculty members have compiled a selection of texts that encompass the knowledge students will gain on their respective Winterim journeys. The assigned Winterim summer reading options range from various texts, podcasts, and films to meet the student body’s interests surrounding experiential education. The assigned Winteirm faculty will lead small groups during Orientation to facilitate reflection, connection, and community activities and provide context to your student’s summer reading.

We ask students to be prepared to answer the following questions regarding their summer reading:
What did you experience, feel, and appreciate during your reading, listening, or viewing that impacted you?
What was your setting around you while you experienced the text?
What questions do you have for the adult who chose your summer reading?
Winterim faculty may provide guidance for textual reflection in addition to these reflections.
If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Stephanie Weaver, Associate Director of Academics, at stephanie.weaver@formanschool.org.
