No generic worksheets, no one-size-fits-all pacing. Every Forma Academics session is built around what a student actually needs next, with regular visibility into how it's going.
Every student is assessed before and after each program, so growth is measured against their own starting point, not a generic benchmark.
Built for the specific students being served across all three programs, not off-the-shelf material.
Every instructor completes a LiveScan/DOJ background check and TB clearance before working with students.
Spanish-speaking instructors available across programs, and required for Dual Immersion placements.
Low student-to-instructor ratios keep instruction genuinely individualized, not just labeled that way.
Missed sessions get rescheduled, so a single absence doesn't mean a student falls behind on their plan.
Every program starts by finding out exactly where a student is. Then it teaches to that, not to the grade on their roster.
Forma's own diagnostic curriculum, built to align with IXL, pinpoints exactly which standards a student has and hasn't mastered.
Custom Forma Academics math curriculum, not off-the-shelf material, delivered in small groups by certified instructors.
A custom in-house assessment covers reading, writing, speaking, and listening separately, rather than a single combined score.
Built specifically to strengthen ELPAC performance and support reclassification for long-term English learners.
A custom in-house assessment aligned to the Estrellita scope and sequence.
Spanish speaking and listening fluency instruction using the Estrellita curriculum, taught by bilingual staff.
Every referred student completes a diagnostic before instruction begins.
Small-group sessions, 2–3x per week, using a curriculum built around real gaps.
Site leadership receives bi-weekly updates, so there is never a wait until the end to know how it's going.
A post-program diagnostic measures real growth against each student's own starting point.
Forma Academics runs on-site at partner schools after school hours, and is built for Title I and high-need sites, at any grade level, that need real, visible growth, not just seat time.
Forma Academics is a young, growing company, and we're proud to be establishing our first school partnerships in Southern California, and we're building each one carefully.
