Product Description

Join us for hours of encouragement and practical help with the Charlotte Mason method!

Friday, August 22 (Doors open at 9:00 A.M.)

  • Session 1—Enjoying the Early Years & Teaching Your Child to Read (9:30–11:30 A.M.)

    Give your preschool and kindergarten-age child what is most important. Instead of academic or social pressures, Charlotte Mason encouraged parents to give their little ones a full six years of developing good habits, getting acquainted with nature, exploring with the five senses, growing in their spiritual lives, and more.

    Plus, discover Charlotte Mason’s truly gentle approach to teaching reading. This simple plan will carry your child from learning the alphabet to building words to feeling at home in the fascinating world of books.

  • Session 2—Learning with Living Books (1:00–2:00 P.M.)

    Good living books feed our children a feast of ideas, not just dry facts. Join Sonya for a look at this simple, yet effective, approach to true education. Learn what makes living books “living,” and practice using them in a way that makes learning stick.

  • Session 3—Laying Down the Rails: The Power of Good Habits (2:15–3:15 P.M.)

    Discover the secret to smooth and easy days: habit training. Learn how to instill good habits, which habits Charlotte Mason encouraged parents to cultivate in their children, and practical tips for cultivating the Top Three.

  • Session 4—Fine Arts the Charlotte Mason Way (3:30–4:30 P.M.)

    You don’t have to be a music major or an art aficionado to teach fine arts to your children. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll discover an easy yet effective way to give your children music appreciation and art appreciation that will enrich their lives and yours!

  • Session 5—Looking Past the Fear (4:45–5:45 P.M.)

    Making the decision to homeschool may not be an easy one, and sticking to your decision may become even harder when the inevitable challenges arise. This workshop provides an encouraging look at God’s response to five fears that homeschooling moms face: fear of what God is calling you to do, fear of being inadequate for the job, fear of what might happen in the future, fear of ridicule or rejection, and fear of our weak areas ruining our children. Learn how to rely on God’s guidance and the strengths He has provided you, and to trust Him to take you through your areas of weakness.

Saturday, August 23 (Doors open at 9:00 A.M.)

  • Session 6—Language Arts the Charlotte Mason Way (9:30–10:30 A.M.)

    Teaching language arts doesn’t have to be complicated, confusing, or frustrating—but many students and teachers would use these exact words to describe the process. Charlotte Mason taught all the skills necessary with just a few power-packed methods that help simplify and clarify the daunting subject of “language arts.” Discover what exactly is included in language arts and how to teach it in a way that is simple and enjoyable, while remaining effective—the Charlotte Mason way.

  • Session 7—When More Is Less: A Call to Simplicity in Your Schedule, Your Home, and Your Child’s Education (10:45–11:45 A.M.)

    It’s easy to get caught up in the mentality that we’ve got to add more: we must do more, we must get more, and our children must study more. More, more, more! But the funny thing is that when we keep adding more, we usually end up with less of what really matters. Discover the richness that simplicity can bring to your schedule, your home, and your children’s education.

  • Session 8—The Quiet Schooling of Nature (1:00–2:00 P.M.)

    We all have a fascinating science resource right outside our doors, but we often overlook it because it is so quiet. Learn how nature study lays the foundation for science lessons, how to get started, and how to keep a nature notebook, plus fun and simple nature study ideas for the whole family.

  • Session 9—Reaching Your Child’s Heart (2:15–3:15 P.M.)

    A mommy-to-mommy challenge about priorities in your home school. Sonya shares six ways to reach your child’s heart—taken from Elizabeth’s example in Luke 1—and three obstacles that can keep us from reaching the heart.

  • Session 10—Navigating the High School Years (3:30–4:30 P.M.)

    Teaching high school the Charlotte Mason way isn’t that difficult! Discover what stays the same, what changes, and how to manage grades and calculate credits for a transcript. Lots of helpful guidelines, practical tips, and encouraging ideas to help you confidently homeschool through high school.

Plus, Simply Charlotte Mason will have our resources available for you to get your hands on, look through, and purchase at a special conference discount!
