I appreciate you and all the staff so much for all that you are doing for the kids. Under these circumstances you’ve all managed to run a safe and successful learning environment in person and online for the students. Phoenix is so lucky to have the opportunity to attend school in person. I love reading about how well he did disassembling computers and VCR’s. I love that he gets to play Christmas songs with chimes in music class. He loves getting to see his friends and teachers at school. The dedication you all have for the success of our kids, we’re forever grateful for that.

I’m beyond impressed with the way The Forum School has handled these challenging times. My son has been doing a hybrid program and both the in-person and online instruction has been well organized and excellent. The teachers are clearly going above and beyond to ensure that our kids keep learning with safety as a top priority. Communication with the school has been great with any requests or concerns addressed right away. Forum is an awesome school!

From the moment I walked in the front door, I just knew this was the right place!”

I am happy to tell you that John has been inducted into the National Honor Society, and the Tri-M Music Honor Society. He was a student at The Forum School from K to 5th grade. When he arrived he had very little language and couldn’t even use a scissor. The teachers at The Forum School and the Speech Therapist took him out of his isolation. Although he does have social skills problems associated with autism, he does well at his new school, and will be going on to college.”

After one visit to The Forum School, I left very impressed by what I heard, felt and saw. I witnessed a school dedicated to helping the neediest students with patience and unconditional acceptance, with the right personnel and resources to get the job done. My student has significantly grown academically, emotionally and socially. Since then, I have had several students placed at The Forum School. The Forum School has shown me what a true therapeutic educational environment should be like…”

We have seen great progress with Jake over the past 6 months. You all are doing something very special for him/ with him. I am so happy to see Jake more fulfilled, with more self-esteem, that unique sense of humor, willingness to step out of his comfort zone, incredible compassion for others, and his acceptance of responsibilities. It’s amazing, and I think this growth is attributable to his day-to-day environment with you all. Your team deserves a lot of credit and words cannot express how grateful we are that he is there every day to learn, develop, and grow to his potential.”

Forum School is such a special place… I gained confidence in myself as a teacher and established even more that I was meant to teach special education. The amount of growth that can happen with these students continues to be so rewarding for me every day. This is a school where the faculty is so supportive of each other and their students, the students grow and reach goals, and ideas and opinions are shared and heard.”

While our company was performing renovations at The Forum School… I consistently witnessed the most amazing display of tenderness and gentle teaching in every facet of the school day… Each student is greeted so warmly and happily by staff, even in the most challenging of situations. There were countless incidents where children with varying levels of tension were professionally and tenderly coaxed into a relaxed and happy state before my eyes. When I mentioned it to one of the teachers, he looked at me a bit incredulously and said, ‘That’s just what we do.’ If more people could get a glimpse into the daily interaction and instruction that I saw at the Forum School, I am sure they too would be in awe of the love and attention that is infused into each and every student there.”

My son has already shown marked improvement and I relate that directly to his attendance at The Forum School.”
