Classroom

“Some of my students are at harvest right now so everyone else is working on elective courses or computer work. I teach 6^th through 12^th grades and I have 15 students.

Kids that are younger than 15 years old have German class in the morning and German class in the afternoon, in addition to the regular studies. So they are in school from 8am to 5pm, 5 days a week.

When they start school at three years old, that‘s when they start to learn English. Until then they speak High German. They learn manners, alphabets, some bible verses and songs in kindergarten. The portable classroom is Kindergarten through 5^th grade and there are 18 students there with two teachers.”
