Academics
Educating the Male Brain
Many young men feel out of place in school as traditional education models do not often serve the male specific brain. Learning disorders, anxiety, ADHD and other mental illnesses can also hinder academic accomplishments. Many teenagers also feel disconnected from their teachers due to a general focus on behavior rather than the emotion driving the behavior. Whatever the cause of poor performance, The Forge School employs an individualized approach to help young men understand how they learn and find the joy in lifelong learning. The foundation of this being strong, healthy relationships with the teachers based in our CASA model.
We Maintain Small Classroom Sizes
Classroom size is crucial in our program. We offer differentiated learning and individual instruction in classes of three to 10, enabling us to develop strategies specific to how your student learns.
Our Students Learn to Love Learning
The Forge School is proud to be Cognia accredited. With Cognia’s standards based protocols and holistic approach to accreditation and certification we have confidence The Forge School’s students will be empowered to succeed in their studies the moment they step onto campus. We offer a range of core subjects, such as Math and English, along with many electives. Our primary goal, however, is helping students regulate the frustration and impatience they feel when studying areas that challenge them. From performing coursework outside to encouraging movement, we personalize our teaching methods to reach your son. We hope to not only teach them English, Math, and organizational skills, but also give them a roadmap for future success and a zest for learning.
