The Academy at Forest View

The Academy at Forest View, located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, is a specialized alternative education program operating under the umbrella of Township High School District 214. It is designed to serve students who may require a more flexible, supportive, or non-traditional learning environment than what is provided in the district’s comprehensive high schools. By offering a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and a personalized approach to instruction, the Academy aims to help students who have faced academic, social, or emotional challenges regain their footing and work toward earning their high school diplomas.

The school’s curriculum is focused on credit recovery and social-emotional development, ensuring that students stay on track for graduation while also building essential life skills. Beyond traditional academics, The Academy at Forest View emphasizes the creation of a close-knit, inclusive community where students receive increased mentorship and counseling. By fostering a culture of accountability and support, the program empowers students to overcome individual barriers to success, ultimately preparing them for post-secondary education, vocational training, or the workforce.
