MAP Admission
The Multisensory Academy of Practitioners (MAP) provides a distinctive opportunity for students in grades seven through 12 who desire a multisensory and individualized educational experience in conjunction with an active and positive social life. The Forsyth Country Day School (FCDS) college preparatory core curriculum is implemented using various multisensory methodologies in classes featuring no more than three students and is supplemented by unique elective course offerings. Students within the MAP program, with various types of learning differences and average to superior intelligence levels, take advantage of top quality educators and extensive use of assistive technology. Students in the MAP program also enjoy opportunities to participate with their peers at FCDS in morning meetings, breaks, meals, clubs, and all co-curricular activities.
We look forward to you joining us as we help chart a course for success with each student while finding the key to unlock each learner’s potential!
