For parents
Staying connected with your son while he is here.
You are part of this chapter, too. Your scheduled calls with staff start right away, his weekly family call begins after a three-week settling-in period, and you are encouraged to visit.

The rhythm of contact
What to expect, week by week.
From day one
Parent and staff calls
Parents have a scheduled call with staff every other week, starting right away.
The first three weeks
Settling in
The first three weeks give your son time to settle in. You hear how he is doing from staff on your scheduled calls. His routine calls start after that.
After three weeks
A weekly family call
Your son has a scheduled weekly call with his family, no matter where he is in the program. Staff monitor routine calls.
Any time
Reach out, and visit
Parents can reach out whenever they need to and are encouraged to visit.
The parent portal
Your family’s private
window into his progress.
After your son is accepted, your family receives a private parent portal account. It is where you follow his academics, read updates and announcements from the school, message staff and handle tuition.
The portal is private to your family. Only the parents and guardians linked to your son, and Future Men staff, can see his information.
