About Home

Forestview Middle School (FMS) proudly serves students in grades 5 through 8, providing a supportive and dynamic environment where every learner can thrive. Our innovative “schools within a school” model places students into grade-level Learning Teams, each led by a group of five to six dedicated teachers. This structure fosters strong relationships, personalized attention, and a genuine sense of belonging.
At Forestview, students benefit from rich classroom learning experiences and have the opportunity to get involved beyond the school day. With nearly 40 clubs, extracurricular activities, and student leadership groups—from Alpine Skiing to Robotics—there’s truly something for everyone.
Our school is also home to unique learning spaces that spark curiosity and creativity, including a permanent dome planetarium, a LEGO robotics lab, and a school forest that brings science and nature to life through hands-on exploration. At Forestview, learning goes beyond the classroom to inspire discovery, connection, and growth.
