Forman School offers a four-week boarding and day program with

an intentional balance of academics and recreation designed to inspire,

challenge and support bright students who learn differently. Under the

guidance of highly-trained faculty and staff, students learn how

they learn, develop effective strategies and skills for success in school,

and gain confidence that will last a lifetime.

Mornings are spent working closely with teachers in The Institute for Cognition and Learning where students take three courses based on their unique learning profile. Whether it’s dyslexia or other language-based learning di!erences, attention deficit disorders, or executive function issues, or a combination – we have the right people to help.

LEARNING TO LEARN

EXPLORE NEW WORLDSAfternoons are for fun! There are tons of great activities on our 125 acre campus: tennis, golf, soccer, ceramics, rock climbing, digital photography, fitness training, boat building, and more. Forman Summer students can learn something new or pursue a personal passion – boosting confidence, making friends and having fun in the process.

Optional weekend trips will give students the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of summer in northwest Connecticut with activities such as swimming, hiking, horse-back riding, camping, and fishing. We’ll also o!er field trips to theme parks, sporting events, movies, and shopping malls.

Each evening, students will take part in experiential, hands-on workshops.
