Lutz School for Work Experience

The Lutz School for Work Experience, located in Clinton Township, Michigan, is a specialized educational facility operated by the Macomb Intermediate School District (MISD). The school is designed to serve students with disabilities, typically ranging from ages 18 to 26, who have completed their traditional high school academic requirements but require further support to transition into adulthood. The primary focus of the program is to provide students with functional life skills and pre-vocational training, helping them achieve the highest level of independence possible in their daily lives and future employment.

The curriculum at Lutz is highly practical, emphasizing hands-on learning experiences that simulate real-world work environments. Students engage in supervised vocational training, community-based instruction, and social skills development to prepare them for integration into the workforce and their local communities. By partnering with the MISD’s broader network of resources, the school creates a structured environment where students can refine their self-advocacy and workplace habits, ultimately aiming to bridge the gap between their school-aged education and successful post-secondary living.
