Baltimore County Home & Hospital

The Baltimore County Home and Hospital (H&H) program is a specialized educational service provided by Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) designed for students who are unable to attend their traditional school building due to a temporary physical or emotional health condition. The program serves as a bridge, ensuring that students do not fall behind academically while they are recovering from illness, surgery, or mental health challenges. Instruction is typically delivered through a combination of in-person visits by certified teachers, remote learning tools, and individualized lesson plans coordinated between the student’s home school and the H&H staff.

The primary goal of the program is to maintain educational continuity and provide a flexible learning environment that accommodates the student’s medical needs while preparing them for an eventual return to the classroom. To qualify for the program, families generally must provide medical documentation from a licensed physician or psychiatrist verifying the need for home-based instruction. Located in Towson, Maryland, the administrative office manages the coordination of services across the district, working closely with parents, healthcare providers, and local school administrators to create a supportive and inclusive educational experience for students during their period of health-related absence.
