Overview

The David School is a private, alternative high school located in David, KY, founded in 1974.

The school operates with a mission of “Learning while Serving,” combining learning with community service, individualized instruction, and strong community support.

What Makes the School Unique

  • Alternative, Mission-Driven Model: Rather than a traditional high school, The David School supports students who may not thrive in conventional settings by offering a nurturing environment focused on self-worth and community.

  • Small Student-Teacher Ratio: With around 43 students and a ratio of about 7:1, students receive one-on-one guidance and mentoring.

  • Service-Oriented Education: Students learn by doing — contributing to school operations, community projects, and daily service, which builds character and responsibility.

  • Financially Accessible: The school does not rely on significant tuition; much of its funding comes from mission partners, making it more accessible to low-income students.

  • Deep Ties to Appalachian Community: Strong local roots mean the school understands the unique challenges of rural students in Eastern Kentucky and supports them through both education and personal development.
