    I live about an hour from Charlotte NC. We are new to homeschool this semester is our first. I choose Charlotte Mason as our base for our curriculum. We joined a local homeschool group and they are great but can’t offer any advice on CM way of schooling. Their local used book fair didn’t have any CM curriculum either. I’m worried I am all alone in CM here.

    I’ll come out of lurking mode for just a moment… I used to live near Charlotte several years ago. At the time there were over 10,000 homeschoolers & came from all walks of life. I’m confident there are others like you 🙂

    There is a CM school in Matthews, NC.  That could be a great resource to tap into (take a tour, ask about their classes).

    I also found this group through googling: http://www.charlottemasonincommunity.com/north-carolina.html

    Im sure there are more groups too. I was part of several when we lived there & attended a great co-op in Fort Mill (not a CM group, but was really fun for my kids).

    I don’t post here very often anymore either (and hey, whaddya know, my log-in still works! :P), but saw this and wanted to chime in because I am in the Charlotte area.   There are tons of homeschoolers in general, and definitely CMers among them, but they tend to be in smaller, scattered groups so it can take awhile to find them in my experience. 🙂

    You said you were about an hour away and I don’t know in which direction, but if it’s to the south by chance, I have been working towards getting a CM Study Group off the ground in Waxhaw (south of Charlotte near the SC border).   We met a few times this spring.  Unsure if we will continue to meet in the summer or not, but hopefully with regroup again in the fall.  If that sounds like it would be a convenient location for you, I’d be happy to add you to my mailing list.  Contact me at dan(underscore)snow(at)sil(dot)org  if you would like more information.

    There is also an active yahoo group for CMers in this area, which would be a good way to reach out and find others more local to you if my little group would be too far.  https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CMeLEARN/info

    There is an associated FB page too, which is less active, but another option if yahoo groups aren’t your thing: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CMeLearn/

    While not specifically CM, this group is CM-friendly classical (and not at all like Classical COnversations) in Huntersville – I can vouch for them being a great group with a beautiful thing going: https://paideiafellowship.com/    I am actually speaking on narration/language arts in the early years at their conference in June. 🙂

    HTH some!
