School Overview

Jardon Vocational School, located in Ferndale and operated by the Hazel Park School District, is a specialized educational facility dedicated to serving students with disabilities. The school focuses on providing a supportive, transition-oriented environment that helps students aged 18 to 26 develop the necessary skills to move from a structured school setting into adulthood. By emphasizing individualized educational plans, the school aims to foster student independence and community integration.

The curriculum at Jardon is heavily centered on vocational training and functional life skills. Rather than a traditional academic focus, the program prepares students for the workforce and daily living through hands-on experience, career readiness training, and personal development. By partnering with local community resources and businesses, Jardon Vocational School works to ensure that its students are empowered to achieve their personal goals and participate meaningfully in their communities after graduation.
