School Overview

The Saint Paul Public Schools’ **Home/Hospital Instruction** program is a specialized educational service designed to support students who are unable to attend their regular school due to a temporary medical or mental health condition. Located at 345 Smith Ave N in Saint Paul, the program serves as a critical bridge, ensuring that students do not fall behind academically while they are undergoing treatment or recovering from an illness. By providing tailored instructional support, the service helps maintain educational continuity until the student is healthy enough to return to their traditional classroom setting.

The program functions by coordinating with the student’s home school, medical providers, and family to create an individualized approach to learning. Instruction is typically provided by licensed teachers who help students keep pace with their specific curriculum requirements. Because it is an extension of the Saint Paul Public Schools district, the service is committed to the same academic standards while offering the flexibility necessary to accommodate a student’s medical needs and capacity for engagement during their recovery period.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. 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).
