There was a group of JWs in California back in the 70s who started this type of school. They used the State's approved home school program. It lasted about a year.

I would love to see thier curriculum. It would probablly make me angry ;)
a relative of my hsband ome schooled her tow kids, they both were completely unprepared for living and workingon thier own. The 29 year old just got married and got his first consistant job around 27. The daughter 26 worked in a daycare situation for a while. Then she actually finally went to a school and got a certificate ( after remedial courses) to work with daycare children, but is still living at home and seems to be waiting for some proposal to make her a JW wife. Her "career" would not support even herself. I wish she would wake up.
I think the Mom did the bare minimum, maybe even unschooling, and focused heavy on field work. The mom actualy had a job herself! The Dad is an elder.

GOALS AND CONVICTIONS OF THE NEW SYSTEM SCHOOL, INC.
As children grow, God's Word, the Bible (John 17:3), will be the textbook for instruction for their standard of conduct (Gal. 5:22,23). Daily Bible reading (Josh. 1:8) will be reinforced through publications such as LEARN FROM THE GREAT TEACHER for young students, and QUESTIONS YOUNG PEOPLE ASK--ANSWERS THAT WORK for pre-teens and teenagers. A wide variety of other publications assist families to apply Bible standards of conduct in their homes. Children who resist such fine direction are patiently and kindly assisted by parents, as well as being provided association at local places of worship, where the local congregation provides specific spiritual guidance, using Matt. 18 where applicable. Parents who wish to keep such children enrolled in New System School, Inc., to continue their academic, spiritual, and emotional progress may do so, as long as the children remain at home.

GOALS AND CONVICTIONS OF THE NEW SYSTEM SCHOOL, INC. - Parents are primarily the ones responsible for the education of their children. (Whether the children are schooled privately or publicly.)
- Education should encompass Fear of Jehovah, Respect for Authority, and Sound Bible Education.
- Education should cultivate Thinking and Reading Ability.
- Education should provide Practical Skills for adult living.
- Education should enable recipients to be Responsible Christians.
- Education should encourage Good Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual Health, and enable one to relate to people various backgrounds, interests, and beliefs.
- Education should assist one to avoid that which would have a detrimental effect on one's mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and moral health.
- New System School, Inc., while recommending social awareness, does not itself adhere to evolution, nationalism, racism, worldly philosophy, pagan festivities, or excessive competition.
