Forman is comprised of 236 bright and motivated students with learning differences and 68 faculty and staff trained to equip them for college.

We educate high school students and post-graduates with diagnosed learning differences – such as dyslexia and ADHD – and ensure that 100% of them get into a four-year college. By exploring abundant academic, artistic, athletic, and social opportunities, Forman students build identities that outshine their diagnoses.

The school is 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 10 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.

The Forman Summer Program, a coed boarding and day camp, takes place on the Forman School campus in Litchfield, CT, during the month of July. The program is a dynamic balance of academics and recreation for students entering grades 7-11 who learn differently.

Under the guidance of expert faculty and staff, students discover their unique learning styles, while being inspired, challenged, and empowered. They develop effective and tactical classroom and study strategies, learn self-advocacy, and gain lasting confidence in their abilities.

Mornings are spent working with teachers in a tight-knit class setting, averaging six students per class. In courses from math comprehension to reading and writing, teachers build on students’ individual strengths and address key challenges, leveraging best-in-class learning strategies and assistive technologies. All students take three focused courses, which provide tailored instructions based on their unique learning profiles.

Afternoons are defined by each student’s passion, providing the chance to deepen an existing one or discover new interests. On a 125-acre campus and at local facilities, students participate in two to four activities of their choice daily, including golf, tennis, soccer, swimming, fishing, rock climbing, fitness training, boat building, horseback riding, and more.

Evenings are enriched with community events that nurture personal growth, a positive mindset, and interpersonal skills. Weekends include on-and-off-campus activities, from sports to arts and team building. During Saturday expeditions, students enjoy the natural beauty of summer in northwest Connecticut. On Sundays, students have the option of trips to movies, shopping, or neighboring homemade ice cream shops.
