The Forman School is a co-educational boarding and day school in Litchfield, Connecticut, USA offering a college preparatory program in grades 9 to 12 and a postgraduate program (PG) exclusively for students with learning differences such as ADD/ADHD and dyslexia. Forman School offers a 4-week summer program for students with learning disabilities. ==History== The school was founded in 1930 by John and Julie Ripley Forman, who started the school in Litchfield with three students who hadn't had a history of academic success. The school grew over the years into a gateway to college for learning disabled students, and in recent years has seen 100% college acceptance. Most of the students are bright with language-based disabilities, most notably dyslexia, attention deficit disorders (ADHD), and executive function disorders. The Formans were committed to utilizing the best available resources and latest research-driven techniques to address the specific learning differences of their students, a tradition that has continued throughout the school’s history. They turned to Dr. Samuel T. Orton, a pioneer in reading methodologies and a mentor of John Forman, to determine how to teach the fundamentals of reading. The Formans established the Remedial English Department and employed the Orton-Gillingham method of teaching reading phonics. They were also awarded a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to conduct research in teaching reading.
