The Inpatient School Program
The Inpatient School Program serves students on the child or adolescent inpatient unit in Mansfield.
About
During their stay, students can continue with academics in a safe, consistent and nurturing environment that allows the flexibility to focus on treatment. This decreases the chance that they miss classwork and reduces the stress of falling behind peers at their home school.
All classes are taught by certified teachers and supported by educational assistants and mental health workers.
