How are the educational needs of residents met while they are living at Hermitage Hall?
Hermitage Hall operates an on-site school for K-12 that is approved by the State of Tennessee Department of Education for general and special education. When applicable, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed for students with special educational needs. The school program integrates therapeutic activities with daily instruction. All credits earned while attending school at the facility are transferrable when the resident leaves and returns to his permanent residence. Residents may also choose to participate in vocational training classes that teach marketable skills and include practical experience in on-campus jobs. Structured activities are provided daily to assist the resident in developing socially appropriate leisure interests and skills.
