EduCativ Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Learn the who, what, when, and were of the nation's first and best-coed college preparatory school for students with learning differences. We are 236 bright and motivated students with learning differences and 68 faculty and staff trained to equip them for college. Our namesake is our founder, John Forman, one of the first educators to apply research-based methodologies to teaching students who learn differently. Our Head of School is Adam Man, an experienced educator and a parent of a Forman School alumnus. Forman opened in 1930. Samuel Orton, who pioneered the study of dyslexia, was on the board. So was physicist Albert Einstein. He may have struggled with reading and was dyslexic, but that did not impede his genius's expression. John Forman engaged these leading minds because he was passionate about providing a transformative education to students who learn differently. We still live his mission, applying expert insights to everything we do. We are located on a classic New England prep school campus in Litchfield, Connecticut, that attracts local day students and boarding students from more than 25 states and ten countries. Our facilities for academics, athletics, the arts, and social life are state-of-the-art. Boston and New York City are around 2.5 hours away by car. Please read all about boarding life or take a tour of our campus map. Forman is a place where every student is known well, where the connection amongst students and faculty feels like family, where big dreams and aspirations are fulfilled, and where we care deeply about every student's success and excellence. Forman holds to the rich traditions of a college preparatory boarding school while also providing an innovative and dynamic academic program designed to bring out the best in each student. We aim to ignite the curiosity of learning in each student, help them improve in areas of weakness, and shine in strength and interest areas.
