Alternative Education and School Support Programs
Location and Facilities

The Home and Hospital Center is located in the Bare Hills section of 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, the area was settled by freed slaves at the turn of the century. The building, which used to be a two-room school house, is constructed of serpentine rock that was quarried from the Bare Hills area.

The Home and Hospital/e-Learning Center has fifteen classrooms that are equipped with the latest technology, including dual monitors, web cams, tablets, and Elmo projectors.  The technology is used to provide online instruction in the core four subject areas to students in grades 6 through 12.  Each online classroom can accommodate from twenty to twenty-six students. All online instructors use Moodle, a course management system, and Blackboard/Collaborate, a web conferencing tool, to provide interactive and engaging instruction.  Teachers have the flexibility to work with an entire class, small groups, or individuals to ensure that they are meeting the instructional needs of all students.  Students have 24/7 access to digital content and course activities and can complete assignments at any time of the day or night.
