Application

Apply to The Forge

Thank you for your interest in The Forge. Because our first cohort will be intentionally small, we want to get to know each boy and family personally. This brief application begins that process.

The Forge is designed for families who desire a joyful, disciplined, technology-free environment formed in the Catholic intellectual, moral, and spiritual tradition. After reviewing your application, we may contact your family for a conversation to ensure that The Forge is a good mutual fit.
