“Who among us did not consider our goals for our children and students when we began educating them along the lines of Miss Charlotte Mason?” asks Jennifer Talsma in her poignant introduction to the final Parents’ Review article in our series on the upper years: a 1936 article written by Mrs. Claudia Shelley, graduate of the House of Education.

Mrs. Shelley takes the long view of education and highlights three challenges all of our graduates will face:

(1) How to earn her living.
(2) How to form principles which will guide her aright through the chaos of modern ideas.
(3) How to live fully.

Shelley explains how the complete program of a Charlotte Mason education prepares young people for these three great challenges of life. Whether you are just beginning the homeschool journey, or are in the mature years, this article along with Jennifer Talsma’s editor’s note will provide ideas for your mind and inspirations for your heart.
