Cultivate
A Christian, Charlotte Mason community currently serving elementary and middle school.We meet once a week and use the Alveary curriculum. Traditional co-op format with monthly equipping sessions.
Charlotte Mason Monterey Bay
Charlotte Mason Monterey Bay is a community of home-educating families dedicated to implementing Charlotte Mason’s philosophy in their homes. All levels of understanding are encouraged and welcome!
In alignment with Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy, this group upholds a biblical worldview, affirming that the Word of God is true and serves as the foundation of our beliefs.
Our purpose is to foster a community of families rooted in CM’s educational philosophy, that nurture a culture of living ideas for our children. Our location serves families in the Monterey Bay and Central Coast areas, including Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito Counties.
We encourage involvement in two ways *ENGAGED* or *ROOTED*:
🌻ENGAGED: Joining in and finding a rhythm with others.
*Study Group (Parents Only)
Our study group is the heart of our community. Each month, we come together to thoughtfully study Charlotte Mason’s volumes, and this shared learning is what anchors everything we do. Because of that, consistent participation and commitment to the study group is a prerequisite for involvement in the broader offerings of our community.
*Nature Outings - Nature study, nature walks and outdoor exploration.
✨Our Rhythm ✨
Study Group - Once a month on the second Monday @ 7PM
Nature Outings - Fridays 10:30AM - Bi weekly
🌻ROOTED: Invested, connected, and growing together.
A community grounded in Mason’s philosophy requires intentionality. When families commit to being present, friendships deepen and children form meaningful bonds. This consistency also allows trust & collaboration to flourish among parents.
*Our rooted community is for families who are actively pursuing a Charlotte Mason education, or who are ready to take the next step toward intentionally living out this philosophy within their homes. The offerings below are designed for families who are committed to consistent participation, allowing children to grow alongside others who are actively practicing the Charlotte Mason method. We are seeking the deep richness of connection that a Mason education naturally fosters within both children and families.
Offerings
* Nature group
* Field trips
* Book clubs
* Scouting
* Enrichments
* Mother Culture
* Family gatherings
✨Community Standards for both levels of engagement ✨
We understand that finding a group that truly fits your family’s needs can be challenging—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we offer the flexibility to connect in two ways: Engaged or Rooted.
Community cannot grow without intentional connection. So before making a decision…
We ask that you:
* Prayerfully consider if this is where the Lord is leading your family in this season.
* Commit to CMMB as one of your primary homeschool groups
* Study Group participation
* Participate in at least 2 offerings to build community (rooted community)
* As a CMMB member, you’ll have access to our Band app, where we post regular updates about offerings and events for the year.
We look forward to connecting with you!
Inspiration & Delight — a conference in Seymour, TN, July 19th 2025.
Saturday, July 19, 2025 in Seymour, TN
We are excited to announce the first year of Inspiration and Delight, a conference for Charlotte Mason educators, featuring Donna-Jean Breckenridge as our keynote speaker on the topics of atmosphere, discipline, and life. Charlotte Mason said we are limited to using these three tools in the education of our children. Understanding these fundamental ideas is essential to following her philosophy and method, but it can be difficult to fully grasp these concepts. Breakout sessions with Lani Siciliano (language arts and narration), Jeannette Tulis (nature study), and RaeAnna Goss (music) are also scheduled. We hope you will be able to join us for this day of encouragement – a day that will refresh your understanding of Charlotte Mason’s principles and renew your delight in this way of educating and living.

Open House – Learning pod for 1st -3rd graders
Dear family in Jesus, :)
My husband, Peter, is the teacher for this pod. He is trained under Ampleside. And Joanna is the mom who is hosting it in her home. You will find her lovely blog here: http://heartforchristschools.blogspot.com/2025/02/our-journey-with-glenbrook-christian.html.
The reason I’m excited to share this learning pod opportunity with families is because I think that they would appreciate its uniquely nurturing and Christ centered setting. Because it is very small, the children receive quality attention to help them flourish in every way. The learning experience encourages them to interact with Jesus in every moment and idea as they discover their full and beautiful design in His likeness.
Look forward to meeting you and your child in person! I will have the pleasure and honor to be spending time with the little ones during open house. I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for more than 15 years.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about this and please do share widely!
