University of Alexandria
This site is under development, Please check back frequently.
This Home Page is the Live Index to the “Curriculum” provided by the University of Alexandria. We believe, continuing your “Education” is the essential ingredient for life long success.
The University of Alexandria (“universityofalexandria.com”) is an open source educational service, provided for free to the members (“Users”), of the “Alexandriaproject.net”.
To access this site you must be a member of the “Alexandria Project”. Again this is a free educational service to members. Please go to the “Alexandria Project Network” to “Register”. Upon registration you will receive an email which you must “validate” before you will be allowed to “Login”. When you login you will be able to access your personal “Platform” page and have total access to the features on the site.
Formal College or University, “Higher Education” is traditionally available at a price that is out of reach for many students and adults. In the age of the internet, virtually every educational need can be provided virtually “Free”. All that is required is for a collaborative group willing to provide it in an open source format, here on the internet. The “University of Alexandria” is intended to provide supplementation or substitution to the current shortfalls in Educational system. This site is also intended to provide a guideline to Post Secondary Education. The “Higher Education”, is for those who wish to be “self educated’. Many famous people in the United States and around the world were self educated.
Receiving an “Education” is the students responsibility, to participate and absorb the material, whether free, or you or your parents are paying for the exposure. So with that in mind, lets proceed. Your participation on this site is proposed to be paid for by advertisers so lets patronize them where possible.
Education can come to you in a number of ways. Virtually everyone in the United states is provided a “Free” Government, (Tax Payer Funded), K-12 Education. One can also receive that “basic” Education by way of “Home Schooling”. Unfortunately, everyone does not receive the same level of K-12 Education. Hopefully, in the near future everyone will have the opportunity to receive comparable education opportunities through the use of Government (Tax Payer Funded), “School Vouchers”. We hope you are with us to continue your educational journey. Education also comes to us all in the form of life “experience”, sometimes the best experience comes to us in the form of bad experience. This site is intended to reduce the level or at least make bad experience somewhat less painful.
Review the curriculum list below, select the area of interest, review the available information and select reading from the book list. Check back regularly as the site is in progress we will post information as we can. Review the book list for each curriculum it may be changing frequently as we become aware of new recommendations.
The cost of books however is always on the student, but we will be running a “Store (https://alexandrialibraryproject.com )”, were other participants may wish to sell their used books providing a break, but there are other used book stores about the country, including ebay and facebook marketplace and of course there is amazon.com. We will provide “links” to educational material, where possible.
The information provided under the topics below will provide comprehensive educational material adequate for proficiency in each discipline. If you are an educator or if you are knowledgeable in any area of study and wish to make recommendations on curriculum or reading list please let us know.
