The Bon Homme Colony School is part of the Bon Homme 4-2 District. The Colony is located along the Missouri River, near Tabor. In the summer of 2000 the Colony Elders added on a second room to our school. The second room was much needed since we have 34 students in grades Kindergarten through Eighth. The Bon Homme Colony School employees 2 certified teachers, one full-time aid, a part-time aid, and a Title One tutor.
When our Kindergarten students begin school in August they do not speak English. German is the primary language spoken on the Colony. Before the students come to our school they have already put in an hour of German School. Each evening they attend another hour of German School. On any given weekday the Hutterite children spend 8 hours in German and English school. Once the students graduate from the 8th grade they are assigned a job on the Colony.
