Home & Hospital Teaching

Overview

What is Home & Hospital Teaching? 
Home & Hospital Teaching is designed to provide short-term instruction to public school students, at home or in hospitals, who are unable to attend a regular school program due to a physical or emotional condition. The Home & Hospital teacher works closely with the school counselors and teachers to ensure continuity in instructional services while the student is out of school.

Why Home & Hospital Teaching?
If a student becomes ill and is unable to attend school for more than three weeks, Home & Hospital Teaching can be utilized to enable the student to remain current with classroom content.

​​Who is Eligible for Home & Hospital Instruction?
​Home and Hospital Teaching services are provided to Anne Arundel County Public School students who are unable to attend school due to a medical or emotional condition for more than three weeks.  Parents should provide the student's counselor (or designated person within the school) a letter from a medical professional that explicitly request Home and Hospital Teaching services.

  • are staying home due to certified physical (medical) or emotional conditions;
