HOSPITAL HOMEBOUND

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.
