Located at the forks of Troublesome Creek in Knott County, Kentucky, Hindman Settlement School has been a model center of progressive education and community service since 1902. The school has played a vital role in preserving and promoting the literary and cultural heritage of southeastern Kentucky and Central Appalachia.

Today, the school provides educational programs for children with learning differences and dyslexia. Our Folk Arts Education Program works with local schools and agencies to promote and preserve the region's cultural heritage. The Settlement also supports community service programs and hosts a number of events each year.

The Settlement School is a private, nonprofit institution that depends on support from individuals, foundations and businesses. We invite you to explore our programs and take a tour of our historic campus.
