Cardinal Forest Friends preschoolers at Board of Education meeting
Cardinal Forest Friends

Students from our first nature-based preschool class “Cardinal Forest Friends” led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance at a recent Board of Education meeting. Once a week these preschoolers pack up and head to the Williams Nature Center, where they spend three full hours exploring, discovering and learning outside! Nature provides amazing, hands-on lessons that simply cannot be replicated inside a typical classroom.

Davison Alternative Education serves nearly 175 students who are at risk of not graduating with their high school class. DAE works in partnership with Davison High School to identify students who can benefit from the design of the alternative education program, regain some lost credits and potentially return to high school.

Davison Alternative Education operates on trimesters rather than the traditional four-quarter schedule. This allows the school to offer nearly 15 elective courses for students. Staff continue to focus on success for all students by expanding instructional strategies, instituting more intensive interventions and building strong relationships with kids.

Students are able to enjoy many activities throughout the year including athletics. There's also the annual holiday dinner, which has become a tradition at DAE. The school year always culminates with the highlight of the year: graduation!
