HOSPITAL HOMEBOUND

HOSPITAL HOMEBOUND is a public school that is part of the VOLUSIA school district, located in PORT ORANGE, FL with about 70 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 42 teachers, HOSPITAL HOMEBOUND has a student/teacher ratio of about 1:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The HOSPITAL HOMEBOUND program, located at 1250 Reed Canal Road in Port Orange, Florida, is a specialized educational service provided by Volusia County Schools. Rather than a traditional brick-and-mortar campus, this program is designed to provide continuity of instruction for K-12 students who are unable to attend their regular school due to a medically diagnosed physical or psychiatric condition. By bridging the gap between a student’s clinical needs and their academic requirements, the program ensures that students do not fall behind in their coursework while navigating health challenges.

The program operates by providing educational support directly to the student, often through itinerant teachers who may visit the student’s home or a medical facility, or through virtual instruction methods. The curriculum is tailored to align with the student's home school assignments, allowing them to maintain progress toward graduation or grade-level promotion. Ultimately, HOSPITAL HOMEBOUND serves as a vital resource for ensuring that student health does not become a permanent barrier to educational success, keeping children connected to their studies until they are medically cleared to return to their traditional school environment.
