Missionary Baptist
The Missionary Baptist church is a Christian denomination that emerged in the American South during the late 19th century. Missionary Baptists separated from the Southern Baptist Convention due to theological differences. Missionary Baptists believe in the classic tenets of the Baptist polity: the autonomy of local congregations and the view that baptism and church membership are reserved for mature congregants. The defining characteristic remains an enduring insistence on local church autonomy. In the United States, two sizable Missionary Baptist church associations operate today: the American Baptist Association (ABA), established in 1924, and the Baptist Missionary Association of America (BMAA), established as the North American Baptist Association in 1950. The collective membership totals over a million people. History Missionary Baptists grew out of the missionary controversy that divided Southern Baptists in the American South during the late 19th century, with Miss ...

Ungraded School
An ungraded school is a school that does not formally organize students according to age-based grade levels. Students' achievements are assessed by teachers, and each student is individually assigned to one of several fluid groups, according to what the student needs to learn next. Typically, skills and knowledge are divided up into smaller pieces, rather than a year's worth of material. Students continue studying a given skill until they have learned it. For example, when a child has mastered the given level of subtraction skills, then they may be sent to a group that is learning beginning multiplication skills. Major skill areas are assessed separately, so prowess or weakness in one area does not force the student into an inappropriate level in other areas. Because of the flexibility, learning at faster or slower pace than average does not leave overachievers bored and neglected, or force slower students or students whose home life has been disrupted through trauma, divorce o ...
