Biglerville, PA
Adams County Charlotte Mason Moms
New Group forming Fall '25 - We are a Charlotte Mason Reading and Encouragement Group meeting at the Harbaugh-Thomas library in Biglerville, PA on Saturday mornings once a month. A brief time is devoted to prayer, then most of the gathering is spent in discussion of 25-30 pages of one of Mason's volumes. (You can keep up by reading less than one page per day!) Time is reserved for practical help, 'Mother Culture' or a sample lesson at the end.
This group is facilitated by Heather Bunting and I'm in my 13th year of homeschooling using Ambleside Online. It is my goal to help you grow in your understanding of Charlotte Mason's methods and to encourage and support moms through the ever changing seasons of homeschool life.

Mother’s Educational Course
This is a CM-inspired course of reading in the areas Charlotte Mason believed to be “really indispensable for every mother who wishes to be thoroughly equipped for her work.” The first "term" begins January 2026. Join us on Substack!
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 August 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 ponder 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. Meetings will be one Saturday morning each month.
Reach out for more details and tell me why you are interested in joining a Charlotte Mason discussion group. Looking forward to getting to know you!

Ambleside-by-the-Sea
Ambleside-by-the-Sea is a parent-led, two-day-a-week homeschool collaborative providing students from preschool through high school years with a Charlotte Mason education. We use living books, narration, and short lessons that spread a wide “feast” across varied subjects. We seek to provide an environment that allows our children to come into direct contact with vital and living ideas from great minds, and to nurture students in forming relations with all that is about them in substance and idea: in words, music, art, science, nature, mathematics, and all that is good, true, and beautiful.
We cover subjects including:
Math Drill / Math Lab / Math Games
Natural History / Science / Nature Notebooking
U.S. History
Ancient History
Plutarch’s ‘Lives’ (Forms III & IV)
Children’s Plutarch (Form II)
Shakespeare
Literature
Geography / Map Drill / Map Making
Poetry / Recitation
Latin (Forms III & IV)
Music / Folk Dancing / Composer Study
Art / Artist Study
Handicrafts
P.E.: Swedish Drill
We also have additional events together as a community including three book club meetings each year for all ages, and one or two handicraft fairs.
Because our intent is to cover academic subjects as well as those subjects often considered “enrichment subjects,” we meet twice weekly and in some ways function similarly to a “university model school;" families can structure their days at home to fill in around the spines and core subjects we cover on our days together. Upper form students have several assignments to complete during their days at home, including literature and writing assignments, and science readings in preparation for science experiments done together.
Ambleside-by-the-Sea moms also meet monthly to read and discuss Charlotte Mason's volumes, and we are always happy to have more people join us!
Charlotte, NC
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.

Remsen Area Charlotte Mason Book Club
Hello! I am starting a Charlotte Mason book club. I would like to eventually grow to something more co-op like, but for now, I want to find other Charlotte Mason moms in the area. I hope it can be a relaxed fun environment as we figure out how to educate our children the Mason way. Feel free to reach out, I would love to discuss ideas with you.
