Set back from Frankfort Avenue in the Clifton neighborhood, KSB's
peaceful, green campus belies the school's significance and importance to the
students, families and the 120 Kentucky counties it serves. The Kentucky School
for the Blind's commitment to children who are blind or visually impaired has
been unwavering since its founding. Its staff does whatever it takes to provide
students with the educational access and opportunities they need to succeed once
they make their way into the world as adults.
