Forman Summer Program

Afternoons are for fun! Experiential activities suited for a range of interests may include ceramics, tennis, golf and soccer skills, rock climbing, digital photography, fitness training, boat building, and more. Forman Summer students will have many opportunities to learn something new or practice something they already know -- making friends and having fun in the process. Each evening, students will take part in engaging workshops, such as how to use technology as a tool for learning, how the brain works, developing self-advocacy skills, and generating a personal action plan for the upcoming school year. Weekend trips will give students the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of summer in northwest Connecticut with activities such as swimming, hiking, horseback riding, and fishing. We also offer field trips to theme parks, shopping malls, movies, and sporting events.

Forman School offers a four-week, coed boarding and day program for students entering grades 7-11 who would benefit from our individualized approach to learning. For over 80 years, Forman has focused exclusively on helping students understand their unique learning styles while building specific skills and strategies for success. Our faculty is expressly trained in validated teaching techniques and the latest assistive technologies, bringing to their work the best that experience and science have to offer.

Forman welcomes bright students with learning differences, like dyslexia, ADHD, or executive function issues to take advantage of a time-tested program under the leadership of highly trained faculty and staff. This program provides a safe, stimulating and supportive environment for students to learn about how they learn, to practice skills essential for success in school and in life while having fun, and making new friends for a lifetime.
