"The environment in which adolescents find themselves has a profound influence on their maturity and self-worth. A school with spirit and good teachers can affect eternity in a young person's life," said John Forman, Founder of Forman School. At Forman, we embrace students as individuals, both in the classroom and out of it. Our nurturing faculty tailor lessons to adolescents with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and executive function deficits—as well as twice-exceptional students. Our beautiful 125-acre campus creates an ideal backdrop for empowering our students to reach their potential. Our faculty are experts in their fields and highly trained to specifically work with capable students who learn differently. Forman students are confident, happy learners who are well-prepared for college. When Forman was founded in 1930, the school quickly became a trailblazer in the education of students with learning differences. We remain a leader today, involved in pioneering work to broaden understanding of learning and cognition, and to transform the lives of those who learn differently.
