Ambleside Homeschool Cooperative

“As a stream can rise no higher than its source, so it is probable that no educational effort can rise above the whole scheme of thought which gives it birth.” -Charlotte Mason

Charlotte Mason believed that educational practice flows from educational philosophy which is why we continue to read and study her works. This summer we are diving into “Home Education” to deepen our understanding of the ideas that shape the way we teach and to cultivate a living education for our children. May our own continued education aid us in educating with greater purpose, confidence, and consistency.

We had our last nature study day of this school year!

“A love of Nature, implanted so early that it will seem to them hereafter to have been born in them, will enrich their lives with pure interests, absorbing pursuits, health, and good humour” (Charlotte Mason, Home Education).

Our Form 3 & 4 students have been working on their Lincoln Douglas debates. This year in our History and Humanities class we read the Federalist Papers, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, The Constitution and The Declaration of Independence weekly, among many other historical documents, along with Biographies, Literature, Dictation and Grammar, Citizenship, Composition, Worldview and more. Next year we will explore the Modern History cycle. If you are interested in hearing more about our Charlotte Mason Co-op, reach out and we would be happy to talk with you.

Please join us this summer for our Charlotte Mason Book Study! DM for details.
