School Overview

The **Hospital Homebound** program, located at 1909 Floral Ave S in Bartow, Florida, is a specialized educational service operated by the Polk County Public Schools system. Unlike a traditional campus-based school, this program is designed to provide academic continuity for students who are unable to attend their regular school due to medically diagnosed physical or psychiatric conditions. By bringing instruction directly to the student—whether in a hospital setting or in the home—the program ensures that students do not fall behind in their coursework while navigating health challenges.

The primary mission of the Hospital Homebound service is to maintain a link between the student and their home school’s curriculum. Certified educators work to provide the necessary instruction, assignments, and support to keep students on track with their grade-level requirements. For more information regarding enrollment criteria, program eligibility, or specific services offered, you can visit the official Polk County Public Schools website at [http://www.polk-fl.net](http://www.polk-fl.net).
