Enrollment: 210

Location: Litchfield, CT

Forman is a coeducational college preparatory school empowering bright students who learn differently.

Community & Student Life Academics

Forman offers a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum.

The learning that takes place outside of the classroom is just as important as what happens inside the classroom. While the days are busy with academics, sports, and extracurricular activities, the evenings and weekends are full of opportunities to join others in schoolsponsored trips and events, to pursue personal interests, log community service hours, or just hang out with friends.

ATHLETICS

Physical fitness, good sportsmanship, and teamwork are integral to students’ success. Each year, students can choose from 26 competitive and non-competitive sports— both single-gender and coed.

Forman is a member of the Western New England Preparatory School Athletic Association and The Housatonic Valley Athletic League.

VISUAL & PERFORMING ARTS

Many students find their greatest sense of accomplishment through artistic expression. Forman has a robust program with 35 courses led by professionals specially trained in the art of teaching LD students. Sample listing
