Teaching at a Christian school is more than a job. It's a calling. Forte gives your educators the Mental Fitness training and 1:1 Coaching they need to stay well, stay grounded, and stay in your school.
Pick a time and we'll show you exactly how Forte works for your school. No pressure, just a real conversation.
Christian school educators don't just teach a subject. They disciple students, support families, carry the spiritual weight of a classroom, and pour themselves out every single day. And most of them go home with nothing left.
You've tried EAP. Fewer than 1-2% of educators ever use it. You've done wellness days. People still leave. And when a great teacher walks out the door, it costs your school $20,000 or more to replace them, plus something harder to measure: the trust, the relationships, and the culture they took with them.
The schools that are keeping their best people aren't doing it by accident. They gave their educators a place to be known, heard, and supported before they hit empty. That's what Forte is.
See how ACSI schools are doing it →You've tried the EAP. You've sent the newsletter. You've hosted the wellness day. And you've still watched good people leave. That's not because you didn't care. It's because those tools weren't built for what your educators actually carry.
Forte pairs every educator with a real, trained Coach they can talk to privately, on their schedule, about whatever is weighing on them. No agenda. No documentation. Just a person who shows up for them consistently. That's what keeps people.
Your educators don't need to be in crisis to benefit from Forte. They need someone to help them process the everyday weight of the work before it becomes something bigger. That's what Mental Fitness is: building the inner capacity to keep going, keep caring, and keep showing up.
Forte fits into their day, not on top of it. Five-minute exercises. 30-minute Coaching Sessions on their schedule. Educators actually use it because it meets them where they are and gives them something they can feel.

We have benefitted from our partnership with Forte in so many ways… it is that extra layer of our care for our team.
My Forte experience has been amazing. I love how she asks thought-provoking questions and stretches me to articulate things in a different light. I look forward to talking to her every week. It’s been life-changing for me.
My Coach is the best! I love that I can share what is jumbled in my head and start organizing it into files in my mental filing cabinet. I have become clearer in my thought processes and more purposeful in my goal-setting. I highly recommend Forte!
My Coach has been great! He has a calm demeanor, listens well, and hears what you are saying. He responds appropriately and has the discernment to ask the right clarifying questions so that you truly unpack the issue that needs to be addressed.
I just appreciate how, when I talk to my Forte Coach, it allows me to process my personal life, my work life, my work-life balance, and even my future plans, and it gives me a safe place to do that.
My Coach listens without judgment and responds clearly, letting me know what she hears me say. Because I have space to process these things outside of work, it has helped me be more present and successful at work and in my relationships there.
Forte helps me take the time to pause, reflect, and process what is going on in my life. My Coach is a safe space to be completely honest and open.
My coach is just an amazing guide! I cherish every conversation with her and she helps me a lot! Very grateful to connect with her every time!
I work at an elementary school and I’ve used Forte several times over the past two years. Both of my Coaches have been great listeners and have offered helpful advice. Having this support helps me be mentally stronger to show up for my students.
I felt a real connection with my Coach and am looking forward to many sessions with her. I felt that she really understood me, and I loved how she brought in God’s truths into our discussions. I plan on learning so much from her guidance.

Honest answers to what ACSI school leaders ask before they get started.
EAPs exist for people who are already in crisis. Fewer than 2% of employees ever use them. Forte is proactive. It's there before things fall apart, helping educators build the inner capacity to handle pressure before it becomes a problem. The difference shows up in your retention numbers by end of year one.
No. What an educator shares with their Coach is completely private. Administrators only see anonymized, school-wide trend data. Educators engage honestly with Forte because they know it's a safe space. That privacy is what makes it work.
Most educators feel something within the first two to four weeks. School-wide trends typically shift by mid-year. Stronger retention becomes visible by the end of the school year. We'll help you set a baseline before launch so you can see exactly what changed.
Daily training exercises take about 5 minutes. Coaching Sessions are 30 minutes, scheduled whenever works for the educator. Forte is built to fit into a teacher's life, not pile onto it.
We handle everything. After you sign, our team works with your admin lead to build a launch plan, send invitations to your staff, and run a kickoff Session. Most schools are fully up and running within four weeks. We stay close through the first 90 days to make sure people actually engage.
