8-WEEK COURSE ON CHARLOTTE MASON’S Principles
Mason's Principles
Part 2
Some of us have heard of Mason's 20 principles, and we may even be familiar with the ideas of each, but do we truly understand their implications, especially in our modern context? This 8-week course has done the heavy lifting of pulling together excerpts from Mason's volumes, Parent Review articles, and modern research to flesh out a fuller picture of the second half of Charlotte Mason's principles and their practical applications in your home or classroom. Join a small cohort of educators with an experienced instructor to dive into the "whys" of a relational education and discover how a robust understanding of these principles can bring clarity, confidence, and delight to your days.

"That the mother may know what she is about, may come thoroughly furnished to her work, she should have something more than a hearsay acquaintance with the theory of education, and with those conditions of the child's nature upon which such theory rests."
~ Charlotte Mason, Home Education p.3
