Education Through 8th Grade
In the Amish community, education is not continued after the 8th grade, as they believe that the basic knowledge accumulated up until that point is enough. It’s rare for Amish to attend high school, and even more rare for them to attend college. Amish schools are schoolhouses that consist of a room with teachers who are also members of the community.
