Cultivating a Divine Education with Charlotte Mason

Cultivating a Divine Education with Charlotte Mason

I first encountered the philosophy of Charlotte Mason when my oldest child was just three years old. We joined a book club studying A Charlotte Mason Companion, and my heart was stirred by the vision of a homeschool centered on goodness and beauty. I was drawn to this method that left space in the day …

Children Up To School Age and Beyond

Children Up To School Age and Beyond

Editor’s Note: The December 1926 issue of The Parents’ Review was entitled “Of Little Children”[1] and was arranged at the special request of Henrietta Franklin.[2] As with the earlier 1917 “baby number,” the issue contained articles of special interest to parents of young children. However, unlike its predecessor, this issue also contained an official document …

I Tried Charlotte Mason’s Schedule for 30 Days

I Tried Charlotte Mason’s Schedule for 30 Days

I was a mess. Between the global pandemic, a cross-country real estate search, getting our house listed, sold, and the subsequent move, all sense of normalcy and routine had eroded. One by one, I’d allowed a slew of bad habits to creep into my life that turned my daily rhythms into a cacophony. With work …

The Teaching Of English

The Teaching Of English

His contribution to that 1923 volume is entitled “Elementary Schools.”[1] In his tribute, he wrote: We remember Miss Mason because she showed us how practice in school might be natural and simple, natural because it used the inherent element of …

Physical Culture

Physical Culture

Editor’s Note: Leaflet H of the Parents’ Union School enumerated nine rules for mothers implementing Charlotte Mason’s method at home. Rule #7 stated, “Bad postures are to be corrected.”[1] We might reasonably ask how posture managed to make it into such an elite list of rules. The answer may be found in understanding the stress …

From Tired to Inspired

From Tired to Inspired

It was the end of the school year and I was drowning. I was overwhelmed and miserable, and that misery often stared back at me during our school hours in the faces of my children. Sure, we had our bright moments, but they were not what I knew was possible with a Charlotte Mason education. …

Simplicity

Simplicity

(A Bible Study) by Charlotte Mason The Parents’ Review, 1898, pp. 46-54 In the course of our Scale How Bible Readings in St. Luke’s Gospel, we came upon a discourse of our Lord’s, so full of illuminating and connected teaching upon the subject of Simplicity that it seems well to draw the attention of parents …

The Story of “Ourselves”

The Story of “Ourselves”

Readers of the January 1901 issue of The Parents’ Review were treated to a new article by Charlotte Mason entitled “Ourselves, Our Souls, And Bodies.”[1] It was the first time this phrase appeared in the PNEU literature, but Mason made sure readers understood exactly where it came from: the article’s title was enclosed in quotation …
