2023 GUIDE TO PRIVATE INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS
motivated students with identified learning differences such as dyslexia, executive function difficulties, or attention deficits. Forman develops the whole student, based on their unique learning profile so that every graduate becomes an educated, confident, self-advocate throughout life. Students are guided in learning strategies by specialists who are also coaches, mentors, and dorm parents. With a student-faculty ratio of
4:1, students move outside their comfort zone and explore new ideas in a close- knit community with an active student life program. Forman’s 125-acre campus includes four athletic fields, a gymnasium, rock climbing wall, Science Center, Ingenuity Lab, Malcolm G. Chace Student Center with a farm-to-table bistro, and a Visual and Performing Arts Center.

Millbrook School defines excellence — its campus facilities, distinctive curriculum, and dedication to educating the whole child. Spectacular recent achievements include record-setting annual and capital campaigns (over $80 million raised), major building renovations, and the construction of a new counseling center, dining hall, girls dormitory, and solar field. Plans are moving forward to build a new boys dormitory and add a field house to the athletic center. The best measure of Millbrook’s successes, however, are the accomplishments of its students — New England Boys Soccer and Boys Tennis Championship teams, Girls Squash New England Champions, the
2019 Boys Soccer Gatorade State Player
of the Year, New England Young Writers honorees, national award-winning artists, and accomplished graduates matriculating at top universities like Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth, and Northwestern. It’s the perfect time to be a Millbrook Mustang! •
