Product Description

“Let us try, however imperfectly, to make education a science of relationships . . . try in one subject or another to let the children work upon living ideas. In this field small efforts are honoured with great rewards.”—Charlotte Mason

Charlotte Mason (1842–1923) was 100 years ahead of her time in developing an educational philosophy that stressed bringing broad and stimulating education to a child in a noncompetitive, Biblically-based way. Her timeless, practical insights and her emphasis on the responsibility of the home have made her a founding influence in the homeschooling movement.

School Education presents Charlotte’s ideas on developing a curriculum. In it you will explore how you can give your child the best education through

the atmosphere of your home, including how you handle your role as an authority;
your view of your child as a whole person;
intentional physical, intellectual, moral, and religious training;
great ideas presented in living books;
a wide variety of natural objects to be handled and observed;
opportunities to form relations with everything that is suitable for him.

“Teachers owe much to Charlotte Mason’s deep insight into child psychology and to the new principles in character building and mind training which she advocated. The gratitude of [those] who have profited by her counsel will be her enduring memorial.”—Elizabeth R., Her Majesty the Queen Mother of England
