The David School

Founded in 1974, the David School is located in the small community of David, Kentucky, from which it takes its name. The mission of The David School 501 c (3) is to provide a educational program for Appalachian high school dropouts and at risk youth who have limited financial resources and the potential to succeed in a non-traditional setting. We will achieve our mission by creating a nurturing school environment that offers all students, through individualized attention, the opportunity to experience success and to serve their community. With these smaller class sizes and strong academic curriculum, the teachers, staff, and students have created a community of support for students who want to graduate high school and go further. Students take an active part in preparing lunch, cleaning the school, tending to the grounds beside their teachers, and reaching out to the surrounding community.
