  With a student entering their third year, Forman continues to deliver, as advertised, a comprehensive education that is going to lead to a college placement, that would be in our experience virtually impossible in any other environment. For a small school, the range of academic, sporting and cultural offerings is enormous, including the Ingenuity Program which is such a great outlet for many truly gifted students. The commitment of the faculty goes beyond what would be expected in so many cases.

  A one-of-a-kind school where kids who have struggled with executive function and being students in the past regain their self confidence and self worth. The environment is built to surround kids with support, encouragement and direct instruction in areas including time management, organization, learning issues, and accountability. At Forman the staff builds kids up, all the while holding them accountable to their potential and growth where traditional academic environments tend to punish, consequence and discourage if students struggle. Can't recommend it highly enough as a parent, and my son said he'd write his own review saying only positive things - "Forman is changing my life, mom."

  This is my daughter’s third year at Forman and she is now a senior. When she first left for boarding school, we were worried that she was too disorganized to live away from home, both in her school work/executive functioning and in her physical surroundings. When she came home halfway through her first year with a color coded calendar on her phone – which she was updating and using! – I had one of many THANK YOU FORMAN moments. The following year, her room at school was so neat that it was used as a sample room for the admissions office tour guides to show to prospective families viewing the Forman dorms. Wow.
  
  However, the outstanding characteristic of the Forman experience starts with the academics. The faculty and administrators and dorm parents are an incredibly talented and dedicated group. They truly want to understand not just each child’s learning differences, but what makes them tick, and then they structure the teaching to fit those needs. They are also available at all hours to help with a variety of teenage troubles, from personal problems to the significant adjustment of being away from home. I have seen several examples of faculty and staff going far out of their way to help, including on evenings and weekends.
  
  Forman provides a safe, nurturing environment, while at the same time requiring the students to follow rules, be responsible, and have a daily campus job (brief). In my experience, that combination produces a positive atmosphere, inspires confidence and kindness toward others, and fosters a sense of community. They are compassionate and understanding of learning and emotional differences, encourage exploration of interests (academic and otherwise), yet absolutely do not tolerate (happily so) serious infractions of the rules that would harm oneself or others. My daughter struggled academically in a regular education setting, yet is extremely well behaved, so we had concerns about finding a school that could address her academic needs in a non-disruptive environment. Forman fits the bill. In short, I feel like my daughter is in extremely good hands.

  Forman is a great college prep school in a traditional academic setting where teachers are dedicated to the education of the whole student! The campus is beautiful and manageable, class size is small, instruction is varied based upon individual need and there is always support available! Both sports and the arts are offered to interest all students. Communication is great and easy with all staff. Forman helps students learn , adjust and advocate for themselves to prepare for the college environment!

  Both of our children joined Forman as midyear students, and I was quite impressed with their smooth transition and the warm welcome they received from students and faculty. Forman provides a safe atmosphere for students who learn differently to excel in their academics as well as artistically, athletically and socially. Students are encouraged to understand how they learn and get to know themselves including their strengths and interests. The school's Thinking and Writing program has helped my children approach writing with less panic, and although they probably will never love writing, they both have an understanding of how to structure different types of written work and the technology to assist them in the process. Forman offers so many excellent opportunities such as a curriculum ranging from individualized classes in the learning institute to AP/honors classes, various Winterim offerings, the research Rainforest Project, boat building, performing arts, and now a new summer program. We are absolutely thrilled to be part of a community that knows our children well and understands, accepts and honors learning differences.
