The Inpatient School Program serves students who are hospitalized on the child or adolescent inpatient unit in Mansfield.
During their stay on the inpatient unit, students in the inpatient school have the ability to continue with structure and academics in a safe, consistent, and nurturing environment that allows the flexibility to focus on treatment. This decreases the opportunity for work avoidance and reduces the stress of falling behind peers at their home school.
All of the classes are taught by certified teachers and supported by educational assistants and mental health workers.
