KENYAN MISSION ACADEMY
part one
The name sounds sophisticated, doesn't it? It's our small school in which we try to teach our children the principles of the Bible and academics we need in today's world. In our Kisumu, Kenya mission there are only seven students this year. We use the CLE individualized system, which seems to work best for the variety of grades and students. Rosalie Beiler, from Lancaster, PA, is the teacher and supervisor. Even though the students aren't many, she needs to have a wide range of flexibility in knowledge and meeting emotional needs. It's a challenge with Phys. ed.
Monica, age 17, felt inspired to work on her own and is trying to finish high school this year. She awakes early (6:00) in the morning and goes to the backyard thatched-roof gazebo where she enjoys morning birds, cackling chickens and dewey hedge flowers. The gazebo was bee infested at first and one day, with the help of a spraybomb and her flipflop , she killed 24 bumblebee-like borer bees. You could call it her science project. She likes to be finished till noon, leaving her free to be a "missionary".
Daniel, age 15, is going through the DVD Abeka 9th grade program. He also tries to arise early and get his schooling done till noon, freeing him to help with various jobs and food deliveries. He works in the office where Mom/teacher can supervise.

At 8:20, the children head out our gate and down to the end of the street where school is stationed behind Ivan Peachey's house.
