HOME/HOSPITAL

Home/Hospital is a public school that is part of the Jefferson County school district, located in Louisville, KY with about 9 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, Home/Hospital 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 **Home/Hospital program** located at 3332 Newburg Road in Louisville, Kentucky, serves as a specialized educational resource for students within the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) district. This program is designed to provide continuity of instruction for students who are unable to attend their traditional school setting due to temporary or chronic medical or mental health conditions. By bridging the gap between clinical treatment and the classroom, the program ensures that students maintain their academic progress while addressing their individual health needs.

The facility functions as the administrative and coordination hub for the district’s home and hospital services. Educators and staff work in tandem with medical professionals and families to create flexible learning plans, which may include direct instruction at home, at a hospital, or through a hybrid remote model. The primary goal of the program is to offer a supportive environment that allows students to keep pace with their peers, ultimately facilitating a successful and seamless transition back to their home school once they are medically cleared.
