Inpatient School Program
Our inpatient school program helps students in the hospital focus on learning, while we focus on getting them better.
How Our School Program Works
Your child’s education will be supported by certified teachers and trained tutors from the moment they are admitted to the hospital. With your approval, our team will contact your child’s school to get any assignments and learning materials. We can also help your child with:
- Tutoring, either at the bedside or in the classroom located on the unit
- Getting supplies and materials like pencils, graph paper, notebooks, calculators and Chromebooks
- Returning completed work to your child’s teacher
- Advocating for needed adjustments in assignments or due dates
We also keep young minds active by offering educational games, a selection of fiction and nonfiction books, science demonstrations, art projects and more.

Each year, the school program gives hundreds of books to our patients. Our library is funded through grants and generous community donations. Donating books is a meaningful way to support our work and make a difference in the lives of our young patients.
