Welcome to the Clare-Gladwin Area School!

The Area School serves students in Clare and Gladwin counties who are eligible to receive services under the following categories:

  • Moderate Cognitive impairments

  • Severe Cognitive Impairments

  • Severe Multiple Impairments

Our staff work in collaboration with local districts and families to provide center-based programs and services to students between the ages of 6 and 26.

About Us:

Located on the grounds of Clare-Gladwin RESD, the educational emphasis at the Clare-Gladwin Area School is manifested in our functional curriculum. Students learn daily living and social skills, which will help them at school, at home, and as contributing community members. Older students receive job training through work enclaves and individual work experiences.

Staff members at the Area School work diligently to meet the student's individual needs. We desire to help each person who attends by providing enriching and challenging learning experiences.
