School Overview

The United Hospital Adolescent Program (UHAP) is a specialized educational and therapeutic setting operated in partnership with the Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) district. Located within United Hospital in Saint Paul, the program serves adolescents who are currently receiving inpatient or intensive outpatient mental health treatment. Because it is integrated into a clinical environment, the program is designed to provide continuity of education for students whose psychiatric or emotional needs prevent them from attending their traditional home schools.

The primary focus of the program is to offer a structured, supportive academic environment that accommodates the varying health and therapeutic needs of each student. Teachers and staff work closely with hospital medical teams to ensure that academic requirements are met while prioritizing the student's recovery process. By maintaining a connection to the SPPS curriculum, the program aims to reduce the disruption caused by medical leaves, helping students stay on track academically while they focus on their mental health stabilization.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
