    Hello, I am moving to the Charlottesville area of Virginia and looking to find a new co-op. However, there doesn’t seem to be one that has a CM model. Does anyone know of such a co-op in Fluvanna or Alblemarle County? And, if not, is there anyone one who might consider helping me to start one?
    I think it would be beneficial and fun to spend one day a week with other kids doing Music Study (possibly including Hymn, Composer, and music instruction), Picture Study, Poetry, Handicrafts, and Nature Study.
    We’ll be living on a small hobby farm in Palmyra, which will lend itself beautifully to nature study and handicrafts/lifeskills. We’ll have a workshop for building projects, and the kids can help in the garden or gain first-hand experience in caring for animals, and even bring home some crops of their own! And there are 4 1/2 acres on which to spread out and study nature.

    If you know of anyone who would be interested, please forward this link to them. Thank you!

    Check out http://WWW.CharlotteMasonInCommunity.com for groups in various areas and resources to help you start a group.  My own CM group, http://www.rchajax.com, is in FL so that’s no help in VA. Your locale sounds so lovely! I would love to have that kind of space for our group

    Best wishes.

    Hi BillandMegan!

    I live in Virginia near you!  I received the email you sent throungh CACHE a few weeks ago.  It has been on my list Every.Single.Day. to email you back.  Even my kids have asked me if I have contacted you yet!  Sorry, I haven’t yet, but I will.  Welcome to the area! 🙂

    Hi!  I’m in Rockingham Co., Va, probably about an hour north west from you.  I wish we were closer!  I too am looking for other cm families who might be interested in getting together.  We live on a 450 acre farm, and have lots of opportunity for nature study, gardening, handi crafts, etc.  I wish you well in your endeavors to start a group!

    VA is so beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the CMI conference at Ferrum College two years ago. It is a lovely campus. I must confess my envy of those lovely landscapes.

    I actually received an e-mail (through a local Christian homeschool loop) from ANOTHER homeschool mom who’s moving to the Charlottesville area and looking for a CM co-op.  I wrongly assumed it was you, billandmegan!  How old are your kids?

    Wow – – two new CM families moving into this small area?  How exciting!  And to think I might find encouragement/fellowship regarding our homeschool journey from real live people!  In the meantime, I’ll keep right on thanking God for SCM and the community here!

    Hi Apbeery!

    I am looking for some CM families as well and we live right outside of Rockingham County in Augusta County! Please let me know if there is a CM group locally or you would like to get together. Thanks!

    Hi,

    We have just starting up a CM mother’s group in the valley.  We are spread over a few counties but meet in Harrisonburg once a month at this point. If anyone is interested in joining us, please contact me at cyndirodgers[at]yahoo[dot]com
