A hospital school, also known as home and hospital education (HHE), is a school operated in a hospital, generally a children's hospital which provides instruction to all primary and secondary grade levels. These schools help children regain academic progress during periods of hospitalization or rehabilitation. The schools are most often accredited and run by the local public school system, funded by the state, and are based on the same curriculum and testing mandated by the state as is practical for the students. Enrollments are low when compared to traditional schools and teachers must provide instruction for many grade levels. Laws and regulations on Hospital School and Domiciliary Learning change from a country to another. The studies related to this field are usually grouped under the term Home and hospital education (HHE). The term HHE was first introduced in a proposal for the EU-funded project LeHo (Learning at Home and in the Hospital), an international three-year project funded by the European Union and managed by the Fondazione Politecnico di Milano. The project researched pedagogical practices for ICT use in the hospital school sector. There are a number of associations worldwide that support the work of hospital schools and hospital teachers. These are HEAL in the USA, HOPE in Europe and Redlaceh in South America.
