#1 — Confidently Curious
Confident to learn and try

Now enrolling — Fall 2026
The Forge is a new high school in Thompson's Station built on project-based learning, strong character, and real-world business — so high-energy young men leave engaged, capable, and ready for what's next.

Our mission
Too many bright, high-energy boys are told to sit still, stay quiet, and wait. We built The Forge for the ones who learn by doing — who think on their feet, ask hard questions, and come alive when the work is real. Our job is to turn that energy into capability, character, and a clear path forward.
“We started The Forge because we know students are far more capable than what is currently expected of them.” — Josiah Trawick
