Their outings range from hikes to museum trips to casual playdates, and parents get together for things like book club or wine night.

This study guild meets once a month during the school months and every week during the summer months. Focus is upon the study, discussion, and implementation of a Charlotte Mason-focused book. Within this context, productive discussions regarding Miss Mason’s philosophy and methodology coupled with seeking the most concrete and practical ways to implement this teaching into our home school, family and work lives is encouraged. Additional meetings are held once a month for children to practice aspects of the Charlotte Mason approach such as handicraft, nature study, music study and the like.
