This article tackles the analysis of one of the educational tracks less studied in the present society, the Hospital Schools and Classrooms, in the South African social context. The research was based on a postdoctoral stay at the University of Cape Town that has allowed, through a personal study, the collection of documents and data related to the topic to be analyzed. According to an evaluative method, the following aspects are described in this article: origin and historical evolution of the sector, organization of the educational service in general and in hospital settings, teacher training, institutional connections, patients’ family care and play therapy in the hospital.
