About
Well-Educated Heart is the homeschool philosophy and resource spine developed by Marlene Peterson, a Latter-day Saint mother of nine and former homeschool teacher. The program is organized as a twelve-month rotation across history, geography, nature study, art, music, poetry, and storytelling, with public-domain titles and recordings hosted free through the Libraries of Hope website. Peterson pairs the Rotation with Catch the Vision, an introductory course for parents, and Mother's University, a learning library of parent-development modules. The framework draws on Charlotte Mason, Alcott-era classics, and LDS sources, though Peterson has positioned the materials to be usable across Christian denominations. Families typically combine Well-Educated Heart with a separate math spine.
