Pine Mountain Settlement School is located in
the mountains of Appalachia in Southeast Kentucky. It was an early
source of education for the mountain youth of the area, offering
a hands on approach to education to meet the changing needs of
the community and region. Today's programs include environmental
education and basic educational support for students in local
schools. The richness of the school's campus and it's history
is a source for multiple enrichment programs for the local community
and beyond.
