How will the kids be educated?

Kids will be educated in our multi-purpose educational center by qualified, teachers, most of whom live at New Song. The teachers will be recent college graduates with teaching degrees who agree to serve for 1-2 years. In addition, some of the house moms and dads will also have backgrounds as teachers. We hope to have our educational team work in cooperation with the local school system, and have already met with leaders in teh school systeml. Teachers will follow Indiana state standards for Math, Language Arts and Science classes, using our state’s Scope and Sequence. In addition, we will offer courses in the arts, drawing on some of Brown County’s creative residents to teach the kids painting, pottery, woodworking, and music. For older students, we’ll incorporate into the curriculum vocational classes such as light construction trades and desktop publishing.
