| "OCEANetwork" | OCEANetwork exists to serve the Lord Jesus Christ by supporting, encouraging, protecting and advancing private Christian home education in Oregon. We are home educating families who volunteer our time to support homeschool families all over Oregon and SW Washington with workshops, conferences and written encouragement. One of our goals is to protect the rights of families to home educate without government interference. We do this by monitoring legislative and congressional actions that may jeopardize those rights. We have been "serving the needs and protecting the rights of Oregon homeschoolers since 1986." | |||||||
| "Home School Train Up A Child (HSTUAC)" |
A mail list designed to be a relaxed, informative, and all-around pleasant forum for discussing the practical aspects of Christian home schooling. No theological debates, no political debates. Even if you don't hold the same religious or political beliefs as others, we encourage mutually beneficial participation as it relates to Christian home schooling. Lots of interesting homeschool links. |
