Hospital Schools

Part of District 75, the Hospital Schools program provides educational instruction to children in hospitals and supports their transition back to school or home instruction. In addition to providing on-site bedside or classroom instruction, teachers maintain relationships with children’s home schools and facilitate remedial help or tutoring as needed. Teachers at times administer city and state-mandated exams.
