Hospital Schooling and Counselling

A hospital school is a school operated in a hospital that provides instructions to all primary and secondary grade levels. These schools help children regain academic progress during periods of hospitalisation or rehabilitation. The schools are most often accredited and run by the local public school system, funded by the state, and based on the same curriculum and testing mandated by the state as is practical for the students. Enrolments are low when compared to traditional schools and teachers must provide instruction for many grade levels.
