I have been working at Forsyth for just under two months, and I have to say that I have had a wonderful experience. The entire community has been welcoming, kind, and supportive throughout my short time here. I have already built many strong relationships and I can tell more will be coming as the months go by. The campus is phenomenal, the teachers are passionate, and the students are full of positive energy. The families have all been so warm and welcoming as well as the administration, truly creating the whole community experience. I look forward to coming to work every day and it has been too long since I could say that. I am completely thrilled with my decision to work here and I only feel like it will get better and better. Thank you Forsyth School!

Forsyth provided an amazing educational experience for both of my children and successfully prepared them for their secondary schools. They loved their teachers, classes, and the joyful atmosphere at Forsyth. The school teaches to the whole child, academically, socially, emotionally, and helps them be the best person they can be while at school and into the future.

The teachers at Forsyth are the best around! I have a graduate of Forsyth and two children currently enrolled at the school. My kids have very different personalities and learning styles, and I have been more than pleased with how the school has been able to individually challenge my kids without overwhelming them. The teachers are creative in how they apply the curriculum, and all it takes is one visit to campus to experience the exuberance that permeates Forsyth!
