School Overview

The UNC Hospital School, located at 101 Manning Drive in Chapel Hill, is a unique educational program operating under the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district. Designed specifically for pediatric patients at UNC Children’s Hospital, the school provides essential academic continuity for children and adolescents who are experiencing prolonged hospital stays. By bridging the gap between clinical treatment and traditional schooling, the program ensures that students do not fall behind in their studies while they focus on their recovery.

The school employs a team of dedicated teachers who work closely with patients’ home schools to provide individualized instruction that aligns with each student's specific curriculum. Because the students are often managing various medical conditions, the educators are highly adaptable, offering flexible lessons that accommodate the physical and emotional needs of the patients. Through this program, the UNC Hospital School creates a sense of normalcy and academic stability, helping students maintain their educational progress and confidence during a challenging time in their lives.
