My name is Elizabeth
Pimpare. My husband and I came here 20 years ago and have
raised three daughters who are also here and raising families.
Before coming here, I was a special education teacher
and taught in public schools. I have taught children and
written curriculum for our children’s academic education
for most of my 20 years in the communities.
I would like
to emphasize the fact that our children’s academic
training is of great importance to us. They are taught
all language skills (reading, writing, and communication),
mathematics, history, science, geography, music, art and
physical education. I serve as an evaluator for our children
in New Hampshire and New York, working with and reporting
to the local school home-schooling department. In New
York, we submit an "Individual Home Instruction Plan"
at the beginning of the school year, give four quarterly
reports, and a year-end evaluation.
We are continually
developing our apprenticeship program for our older children.
We believe strongly in giving them a solid academic foundation
in which their own God-given individualistic gifting and
talents can be built upon.
Apprenticeship
is vital to our children as they make the transition from
childhood to youth to adulthood and are integrated into
our lives.
The fruit is obvious
– public education is failing to produce responsible
adults. The bad tree is bearing bad fruit. Sadly,
today’s children are becoming more and more unstable.
We choose the harder path and train our children ourselves
instead of relying on this system. We are determined
and devoted to instill the dignity, security, and
worth into our children that they so richly deserve
and desire.
More about the education of our children:
We train our children in our own homes.
We have developed our own curriculum, designed to
meet our children's needs. We report our children's
educational progress to the state regularly in recognition
of their right to know that our children are being
educated.
