As the nation’s premier educational institution for students with learning differences, The Forman School is a co-educational secondary boarding and day school. It’s a place where students "fit” - often for the first time in their lives. Forman helps students realize that even though their brains process information differently, they’re really the same as everyone else. For students, this is the difference that matters most of all. Litchfield is a small, rural town located in the hills of northwestern Connecticut. The school campus occupies 100 acres. The property encompasses fields, trout streams, and ponds, with numerous hiking trails. The setting provides the Forman student with many opportunities to pursue nature-oriented interests, as well as cultural, sports, and intellectual activities in the greater Hartford area.
