The Amish and Education

Just like any other community, the Amish are big on learning. They believe in ensuring that their children get the best education possible. They have their own schools, which are one-room schoolhouses. Teachers at these schools are unmarried Amish women who are aged 18-22 years old.

They tend to focus on arithmetic, penmanship, reading, and writing. Their school day typically starts at 8:30 am, and they start their day with a Bible verse. Their schooling usually ends by 8th grade.
