CULTURE OF CHALLENGE

Forsyth’s challenging and engaging curriculum promotes independence with support from our talented teachers, committed administration, and caring families. Students learn how to accept and face challenges, set goals for themselves, reflect on their experiences, support their peers, and celebrate the accomplishments of themselves and others.

Developmentally appropriate challenges encourage students to try new things. Grade-level progressions for activities like camping, memory mapping, and public speaking support skill-building as individuals and in groups. In the Adventure Center, the high ropes course and climbing wall challenge kids to stretch beyond their comfort zones and set lofty goals for themselves—literally and figuratively! Walking the high beam is a graduation capstone experience reserved for Grade 6 students.
