Forte Strong is open enrollment throughout the year.

Will My Son Be Required To Attend College While He Is At Forte Strong?

Your son is encouraged to attend college or a form of higher education when he’s ready. Many Forte Strong students have attended college in the past and have failed out for different reasons, but none from a lack of intelligence; rather from a lack of purpose or discipline.

How Does My Son Get Around?

Your son will receive a Forte Strong scooter when he arrives. This gives your son more opportunities. These Honda scooters are easy to maintain, easy to ride and will help your son achieve financial independence sooner. Did you know coaches ride scooters too… it’s all part of our culture here at Forte Strong.

Is My Son Going To Be Safe On A Scooter?

We make sure we safely ease your son into riding his scooter. Your son will spend a few days learning to operate, maneuver, and maintain his scooter with the help of a trained coach. Our students are given a written and practical exam before being allowed to ride the scooter on public roads. Our students are also required to take a state certified motorcycle and scooter safety course within the first 30 days at Forte Strong.

Does Forte Strong Offer Job Placement Assistance?

Absolutely. This is a priority for Forte Strong and for our students. Our focus however is not for him to work just any job, but rather qualify him for a job that compliments his strengths, gifts and talents and yet also in line with his capabilities and experience. This takes more than just filling out an application and completing an interview. Our process takes work and it raises questions. For example, if your son wants to work at Walmart a coach might ask? “How is Walmart in line with your strengths and does this job help you further your goals?” “Is it a stepping stone to something greater?” If your son cannot answer that question then he is focusing on the wrong job or has no real reason why he wants a job to begin with. Once we uncover the really reason as to why he failed in the past, we can start moving forward.

Does Forte Strong Work With Students Who Previously Used Drugs Or Alcohol?

Depending on the desire of the student, Forte Strong will at times allow a young man who once struggled with drugs or alcohol to enroll as long as he can prove he is no longer dependent on drugs or alcohol. Some of our students have used marijuana and/or alcohol in the past as a result of social pressure, boredom, a lack of accountability and structure and/or an escape from the responsibilities of life.

What's Included In The Enrollment Fee?

The Enrollment Fee is used to help jumpstart your son’s success starting from ‘Day 1’. It’s sole purpose is to get your son up to speed as fast as possible in order for him to graduate on time (6 months).

What Is Required Of Fore Strong Students?

Your son comes to Forte Strong with different needs and challenges, which is why our approach is tailored to your son’s specific needs and goals. Some students are here because of insecurity, lack of confidence, poor social skills, poor money management, inability to keep or maintain a job. Some play too many video games or spend too much time watching movies, TV and the internet. Some come to us for direction, self-discipline, education and a sincere hope for a brighter future while others simply need a little jump start. Whatever the reason, we help your son unlock his true potential so he can see the strength he has inside.

What Does A Day Look Like?

We’ve found that a one size fits all approach is not the answer, especially if you want your son to learn how to manage his own life. All of our students have different needs, different jobs, different goals and therefore a different schedule is needed. We help your son build a schedule that offers the best use of his time while tailored to his specific goals so he can achieve success in record time.
