Far Above Rubies
The goal of the Far Above Rubies curriculum is to assist mothers in training their daughters in the character and disciplines of the virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31. Our prayer is that each young lady desire to become a woman of virtue; a woman whose worth is not lesser in value, not equal to, but far greater than the value of a ruby.
