But also work can come in what is called Occupations Projects, which are relevant and practical applications of academic pursuits.

Mathematics and Geometry, for example, will find application in a Mapping and Topographic Survey project of the farm property. Biology and Chemistry will find application in a Pond or Lagoon study.
Physics and Geology will find application in doing a Shallow Well study that requires a wind-powered pump. History and Humanities will find application in doing a Demographic Survey of a nearby village.

In all of the above, study themes and work groups are designed for limited number of students to ensure that each one will have a role to do. The role is what creates for your child his sense of value -- his personal dignity. It also allows him to develop a sense of justice – because he starts to realize that if he does not deliver on his role excellently, his work group or his farm community suffers. Thus, in a very real and practical sense, the impressionable youth learns to serve others.
