When Forge Academy is off
On these dates Forge Academy classes pause and we run a day camp instead — a separate sign-up. It happens two ways:
Break weeks
All classes are off for the full week and resume the day after the break ends.
- Thanksgiving break
- Nov 21 – 27, 2026
- Winter break
- Dec 19, 2026 – Jan 8, 2027
- Spring break
- Mar 20 – Apr 2, 2027
Single-day holidays
Only the class that lands on that day is off — most often a Monday. The curriculum keeps moving, so affected families make up the session in another same-level class that week.
Forge Academy is one yearly tuition for the full school year — it isn't tied to how many classes fall in a given month, so holiday closures don't change what you pay. You can pay it in full or split it into nine even monthly installments. Families who enroll partway through the year pay a prorated tuition based on the number of classes left in the year.
