Home of the Innocents School

The **Home of the Innocents School**, located on East Market Street in Louisville, Kentucky, serves as a specialized educational component of the larger Home of the Innocents organization, which is one of the region’s most historic and comprehensive providers of care for children and families in crisis. The school is specifically designed to meet the unique academic and therapeutic needs of children residing at the facility, many of whom have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect, or complex medical challenges. By providing a structured and supportive learning environment, the school helps ensure that these students maintain educational continuity despite the significant disruptions in their personal lives.

The program is characterized by its high degree of individualized attention, typically maintaining small class sizes and a trauma-informed teaching approach. The faculty and staff work in close collaboration with the facility’s clinical, social work, and medical teams to create a "wrap-around" educational experience. This integration allows the school to address not only academic standards but also the behavioral and emotional health of its students, aiming to stabilize them so they can eventually transition back into traditional public or private school settings with the tools needed to succeed.
