We switched to your curriculum this week and my 8 year old and I couldn’t be happier. It’s beautiful. Clear, well written. Fantastic.
How the SCM Curriculum Works
- Choose the plans that will best fit your family. Select one History time period and one Enrichment volume to enjoy all together as a family. Add an Individual study for each student, and you will have a complete Charlotte Mason curriculum plan at your fingertips for a full year of study!
- Gather the hand-picked resources recommended for each plan. We give you a complete list and let you know where you can find them—many are available from SCM, some are free downloads, some you will find at your library, and some you can grab at your favorite bookstore to build a treasured family library.
- Follow the simple day-by-day plans. They detail when and how to use each great resource to give your children an enjoyable CM education.
With one History study and Enrichment study for the whole family and one Individual study per student, your weekly schedule is very doable! It would look something like this.

Thank you for simplifying things for me as a homeschooling mom! The products you offer—from Picture Study to Composer Study, Poetry, and History with Bible—are all EXACTLY what I would have attempted to compile on my own had I not found SCM first, only I would never have come close to the quality of content or beautiful presentation of the materials that SCM offers. I am so grateful for this excellent resource and the reasonable prices.
