The Amish Schools of Indiana: Faith in EducationPurdue University Press, 2003 - 210 strán (strany) The Amish Schools of Indiana studies the fascinating history of the Old Order Amish parochial school movement in Indiana from its beginnings in 1948 through 2002. Included in the work are complete descriptions of buildings and grounds, as well as descriptive essays on the pupils and their teachers, the curriculum, the values that are taught, and the religious community that surrounds and supports the school. Readers are invited into the school at numerous points, to sit in on classes, school programs, and impromptu celebrations, as they read anecdotal accounts of real experiences. While preserving the anonymity and Amish proscription against posed pictures, the book makes generous use of photographs to document the current state of Old Order Amish education in Indiana. |
