Alternative Education, Dropout Prevention and Summer School
Location and Facilities

Home and Hospital Center is located in Bare Hills on Falls Road, just north of the Mount Washington area of Baltimore City. The name Bare Hills refers to the lack of trees and the unique vegetation that grows in this area due to deposits of chromium. Historically, this was an area settled by freed slaves at the turn of the century. The school building is constructed of serpentine rock that was quarried from the Bare Hills area.

Conference bridge telephone units and an international teleconferencing platform, which teachers use to conduct the teleclasses, are located at the Home and Hospital Center. Classes can accommodate from twenty to twenty-six students. A teacher may group students into two or three groups. The system also allows the teacher to talk privately with a student. All teaching rooms are equipped with computers that are used in teaching courses. The computer provides a visual component to the lesson and also acts as an interactive blackboard in higher level math and science courses.
