Coming Soon! ~ Charlotte Mason Community in Gainesville, Florida

source: https://athenaeumamidstthereeds.com/2016/08/13559/

Put simply, Charlotte Mason's philosophy can be summarized in this way: "Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life." This is truly a beautiful ideal, but how does one begin to embrace this style of education in practice? Mason offers a feast of wisdom in her six volumes on education, but implementing her ideas is a process involving time and study. If you have ever desired a Charlotte Mason education for your children, or would simply like to learn more about Mason's philosophy and methods, you do not have to figure it out alone!

, a homeschool support group in Alachua County, is offering two opportunities this fall for local homeschooling families to learn about the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education:

~ For parents interested in learning more about a Charlotte Mason education, I will be hosting a

CM Book Study

group meeting on

the

second Monday of the month

~ For parents wishing to dive into practicing Charlotte Mason's methods in a learning community, CCH will be launching a

Charlotte Mason subgroup for 2016-2017

. This subgroup will be geared toward families with elementary-age students and will

meet twice a month

to "spread a feast" for the children, consisting of hymns, folksongs, works of artists and composers, Shakespeare, poetry, recitation, handicrafts, dry brush & nature study. (*Membership in CCH and parent participation in the monthly CM Book Study is required of subgroup members.)

I love, adore, and have always used AmblesideOnline as our homeschool curriculum. Also, I have always collected books. In the high school years, when AO takes a pick-and-choose salad bar approach, I can't help but consider not just the books on the lists, but also the books on my shelves.
