Learning and Growing: Curriculum, Classes, and Clubs

This post/re-post is a resource list designed to aid in the education of women in homemaking and womanhood lines, particularly in keeping with the purpose of The Hope Chest. You can always find all of my resource lists in the sidebar.

I don't necessarily endorse these sites in their entirety. In fact, some of them I may not endorse at all! They are here because I believe they are useful for educational purposes.

New! Here's something that may help. Below are links to high school/college/university departments, programs, course catalogs, etc. that may be helpful in planning your study. They are both Christian and secular, public and private ~ just whatever I have found that might provide ideas, inspiration, and guidance, whether you are planning a homeschooling program, independent study college program, or just a personal education study program. These links do not include homeschool curriculum. Look at the courses offered, and if possible, actual course descriptions.
