Gathering interest in future events. Meetup area would be within 30 mins of Utica (Boonville, NY) I would love to gather with a local community of Charlotte Mason-style moms. We can meet monthly and deep dive into the Charlotte Mason volumes together.

NEA CM Book Club
Join Us for a Charlotte Mason Book Club! I’m excited to invite you to our Charlotte Mason book club, where we’ll delve into In Vital Harmony by Karen Glass before jumping into Charlotte Mason’s volumes. This book offers an introduction to Charlotte Mason’s principles and provides an overview of her ideas.
Book Club Schedule:
• September 10: Introduction & Chapters 1-4
• October 8: Chapters 5-9
• November 12: Chapters 10-14
Come for engaging discussions, shared insights, and the opportunity to connect with fellow Charlotte Mason educators. Whether you’re new to Mason’s methods or have been practicing them for years, we’d love to have you join us!
Please let me know if you can attend or if you have a friend who might be interested. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Veni et Vide Charlotte Mason Guild
Are you a CM family who desires community, growth, and support on your CM journey? We are a small group of moms looking to expand an ongoing Charlotte Mason & Classical education reading circle near Redlands CA, that aims to meet monthly to encourage each other and discuss scheduled readings, CM philosophy, and mother culture.
As home-educating families dedicated to implementing Charlotte Mason’s philosophy in our homes, we aim to encourage each other in this education of atmosphere, discipline, and a life. Like a medieval guild, which was an association of artisans who oversaw the practice of their trade or craft in a particular area and aimed to uphold common goals of quality and agreed standards, we hope to gather around a shared interest in CM to improve our knowledge and educational craft, and to affirm best practices for those principles in a variety of family contexts.
All levels of understanding are encouraged and welcomed! In alignment with Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy, this group will uphold a biblical worldview, affirming that the Word of God is true and serves as the foundation of our beliefs. We affirm the Apostles and Nicene Creeds. We are not aiming to blend neo-classical methods (ages and stages, such as the popular Classical Conversations formula) with Charlotte Mason, but see her as a unique participant in a deep, rich, living, diverse, classical tradition that we can also engage with and create community around.
Our hope is to connect with other families in our area who want to know more and share commitment to this educational method through activities such as a parents/moms study group (reading, discussing, and applying CM's volumes and other related education books), nature study, and educational outings. *with more interest and participation this group can expand to include a broader range of enrichment/activities*
Although we do make space for unexpected circumstances, moms attending at least 75% of study group meetings per term is the ideal minimum requirement for participation, as well as doing any agreed assigned readings.
"Veni et Vide" or, "Come and See" for yourself the rich and beautiful education of an atmosphere, discipline, and life with us! Contact for current meeting details.

Charleston, WV
Starting a Group in Charleston, WV
My family recently moved to Charleston, WV and as far as I can tell there isn’t a local CM group. I’d like to start a gathering for children and their families.
I envision beginning with a fortnightly nature study/walk to let our children delight in the wonder and beauty of creation. I’d also like to offer a monthly meet up for mums to read through Charlotte’s volumes or other related material.
If you are interested in joining, please sing out!

Greenville, TX
Charlotte Mason Book Club
Our group begins reading through one of Mason’s volumes each summer. Parents and children meet at my home in Greenville Texas, bi-weekly. Children play outdoors while parents (and babies) stay inside to discuss the chapters.
During the school year, we transition to a parents-only monthly meeting, in the evenings, to finish the volume.
Readings are split up and assigned at the beginning of the summer. Feel free to jump in any time.
