book discussion
Arlington, TX
Commonplace of Arlington
This is a discussion and support group for parents who are interested in or are already using the philosophy of Charlotte Mason in their home school.
We will start in September of 2025 with "Start Here," a study guide by Brandy Vencel. This is a great study for new-comers to the philosophy, but it also has plenty to chew on for the experienced. We will have time each meeting to talk about what's happening in our own home schools and celebrate the good as well as share ideas for those trouble spots.
When you reach out, tell me why you are interested in joining a Charlotte Mason discussion group. Looking forward to getting to know you!

Charlotte Mason Study Group (CMSG)
WHO: The CMSG promotes Mother Culture through a community of parents that reads through a rotation of Charlotte Mason’s volumes.
WHEN: We meet monthly in the homes of our gracious hostesses in various regional locations to discuss the assigned readings.
WHAT: We focus on one book at a time to examine deeply the wisdom and philosophy of the author. We offer mutual encouragement and support in our homeschooling journeys.
WHY: We are ‘waking up to our duties and in proportion as mothers become more educated and efficient, they will doubtless feel the more strongly that the education of their children during the first six years of life (and beyond) is an undertaking hardly to be entrusted to any hands but their own. And they will take up as their profession—that is, with the diligence, regularity, and punctuality which men (and women) bestow on their professional labours. That the mother may know what she is about, may come thoroughly furnished to her work, she should have something more than an acquaintance with the theory of education, and with those conditions of the child’s nature upon which such theory rests. “ (Volume 1 pg. 2-3)
Join us to ‘keep growing and filling our minds’ as we study the writings of Charlotte Mason. We have multiple regional groups in Mecklenburg County. To find a location near you or for more information, email us at ReedyCreekReview@gmail.com.

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.
