What is Homebound Education?

A doctor has stated that due to student’s medical needs, he/she is unable to attend

brick and mortar school. Enrollment in program may be short term or long term.

Challenges of education homebound students

Doctors Appointments Enrollment Period

Homebound students may

have numerous doctors

appointments to attend

and frequent hospital

stays.   

Many times, these

students are not feeling

well enough to complete

school work

  

The enrollment period in

HE is short term - the

student needs to stay on

track to ensure a smooth

transition back to their

assigned school

  

Fatigue/Sick

Traditional programs can be expensive to operate and difficult to staff

Keys to success

Pacing/Progress Goals

Individualized pacing and progress goals need to be established and clearly communicated.

Parent/Guardian Participation

It is imperative that the student and parent/ guardian participate in an orientation to understand program policies and expectations at the onset.

Assessment

Continuous, close

monitoring is

required should

modifications or

adjustments to ILP

become necessary.

“My son was diagnosed with a severe form of anxiety disorder which prohibited him from attending a traditional classroom. Being this was such unusual circumstances for a child of his age, there was deep concern he would graduate with the effective tools needed to prepare for secondary education. As an educator, I had no reservations after evaluating the instructional format of the K12 learning environment. My son graduated with great self-esteem knowing he received a solid educational foundation from K12. He is currently pursing post-secondary interests due to the confidence instilled from K12 learning.”

– Parent of 10-11 year old
