Positive Behaviors, Positive Outcomes
With the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework we nurture a calm, caring school climate where every student is respected and ready to learn.
Proudly Bilingual
Forty percent of our students are learning English as their second language, following the one-way Bilingual Language Program in our bilingual classrooms.
Safe Place Programming
We provide before- and after-school programming that brings academic support, enrichment, and recreational opportunities to K4 through fifth-grade students.

Whether students are working on reading proficiency in a monolingual classroom (English) or bilingual classroom, all Forest Home students are empowered to think of themselves as global citizens who can change the world.
