The Forum School:
The Forum School is a private,
non-profit, non-sectarian day program for developmentally atypical children
through 16 years of age.
The Forum School offers a therapeutic educational environment for children who
cannot be accommodated in a public school setting. Psycho-educational and
behavioral techniques are utilized along with a structured, developmentally
stimulating curriculum appropriate to each student's level.
Classes, which are ungraded, are small, with a ratio of at least one adult for
every two children. Teachers, administrators, and consulting staff collaborate
with the student's parents and Child Study Team to develop an Individualized
Educational Program for each Forum School student, geared to his/her particular
needs.
The Forum School is in session from September through June, and an optional
state-approved summer day program is held in July. Several sleepaway programs
are also offered.
