The Forum School is a private, non-profit, nonsectarian day program for developmentally atypical children 3 through 16 years of age. The Forum School offers a therapeutic educational environment for children who cannot be accommodated in a public school setting.
All classes are small, with a ratio of one adult to every two children.
The Forum School curriculum includes adapted physical education and aquatics. For the younger, tentative swimmers, this program provides a warm, private, non-threatening environment in which comfort in the water is the main objective. The water temperature is 88 degrees. Children receive water instruction at least one forty minute-period per week. Ease of movement, tolerance to splashing, and submersion are accomplished with play, games, song, and adapted activities all geared to move from caution to confidence.
