The team is dedicated to providing their audience with an authentic interpretation of Charlotte Mason’s life work, including what Charlotte Mason said about first reading lessons, how to promote and protect a love for learning, how to keep a nature notebook, and much more.
For many topics, you can either listen to the audio or read the blog. There’s also a few videos on the site as well.
The team is filled with several Charlotte Mason enthusiasts, including Art Middlekauf, the author of two volumes in Essays on the Life and Work of Charlotte Mason, Richele Baburina, the author of several Charlotte Mason math resources, and many other contributors.
Truly, a gem of a site.
