Flourish Cottage School: A Charlotte Mason Cooperative

We meet three times a month in Gainesville on Fridays and currently delegate teaching subjects to parents. We have a few in a “preschool” room, and school aged children separated into two groups: ages 6-9 and 10-14. Currently we start with hymns and Bible, followed by handicrafts (lower forms), ASL(upper) Shakespeare(upper), Church History(upper), Literature(lower), Sol-fa (lower). We wrap up with poetry and folk songs and eat lunch together. We are looking for Christian families committed to Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophies.

The Children’s Gathering

The Children's Gathering is our Short Morning of Lessons for Charlotte Mason Families.

We gather together every Friday morning for Hymn Singing, Old and New Testament Bible Recitations, a Psalm Recitation, and a Poetry Recitation. We also have a lesson in Physical Geography using Charlotte Mason's "Elementary Geography" along with Geography Walks. We are learning and practicing Swedish Drill together each week too.
We are reading and listening to Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" and "As You Like It". We are also studying Church History using "Trial and Triumph" by Richard Hannula. We end our morning of lessons together with a Folk Song.

If you are looking for other Charlotte Mason Families to learn and grow with, please let us know. We would love to have you join us! ❤️

“One more thing is of vital importance; children must have books, living books; the best are not too good for them; anything less than the best is not good enough....”

"Give children a wide range of subjects, with the end in view of establishing in each case some one or more of the relations I have indicated. Let them learn from first-hand sources of information--really good books, the best going, on the subject they are engaged upon. Let them get at the books themselves...books teeming with ideas fresh from the minds of thinkers upon every subject to which we can wish to introduce children. ”

Lubbock, TX

Live Oak Living Academy

At Live Oak Living Academy, we focus on training children how to learn rather than telling them what they should know. Who are we to say that we know everything? Our children were born in God's image just as we were and have the same ability to make connections between subjects. If we do not teach them how to strengthen this ability and learn for themselves, what is to prevent them from believing whatever they are told?

Here, at LOLA, we make it our mission to assist our parents in teaching their children right from wrong, training them to become habitual stewards of good self-discipline, and providing them with ideas in all fields of knowledge.

We seek to develop spiritual, social and academic maturity in young men and women as they move on to whichever path God may lay before them.

Skylarks Rise – A Classical Charlotte Mason Community

This group seeks to prioritize Christ-centered community, feasting on living ideas in the classical tradition of Charlotte Mason. We seek fellowship in the pursuit of the knowledge of God, man, and the universe.

This group will adhere to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, i.e., the Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed. As parent educators, we hold that "God, the Holy Spirit, is Himself the supreme Educator of mankind." (Mason, Parents and Children, 275).

We meet every other week on Tuesdays for lessons during the Fall and Spring Terms. Lesson Days include a group Morning Liturgy followed by Form lessons. The group works off of Ambleside Online's Folk, Hymn, Shakespeare and Plutarch rotations. On "off-weeks" and during Winter Term we schedule hikes and field trips. Mother's will periodically read and discuss Mason's volumes, Parent Review articles, CM books, and participate in CM themed conferences.
