Knox Appalachian School
The Knox Appalachian School is a public school founded in 2004 as a joint venture between the Appalachian Children's Home and the Knox County Board of Education to serve the children committed to the Children's Home.[6] It has five certified public school teachers and a Title One Coordinator.[6] It provides instruction from grades 5 to 12.[7] Special education services are offered on-site by a certified special education teacher. One of the most technologically advanced schools in the area, the school is the site of a pilot program for the Plato Learning System, based on individual learning.[6] Its students have opportunities for educational travel on a 60-passenger tour bus to sites such as the Gatlinburg aquarium, visits by Kentucky historical reenactment specialists, and career days to learn about possible employment opportunities.[6]
