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!

Nature Study Club

We are a group of Charlotte Mason homeschooling mothers and their children who meet bi-monthly to study and appreciate nature together. We are based in Brazoria County and use the Handbook of Nature Study to guide our learning. After a discussion about our topic and an object lesson, kids get the opportunity to play and explore outdoors. Then the group enjoys a sack lunch together.

Open to home-schooled students ages six and up and their younger siblings. This is not a drop-off program. There is no cost to attend. Lessons will be taught from a Christian perspective.

Magnolia Schoolhouse

Magnolia Schoolhouse is a conservative Catholic faith-focused Charlotte Mason homeschool co-op. We are parent-run and led, focusing on children of all ages from preschool to 12th grade.

Magnolia Schoolhouse believes in the old schoolhouse mentality, where many children of varying ages can learn together and from each other. We offer weekly outings and weekly group co-op lessons where children can build friendships and socialize, as well as meet-ups for nature study and art and even weekend family day trips. We also give support to parents who are homeschooling for the first time or homeschooling multiple children in the Catholic faith, along with Charlotte Mason's methods and philosophies. We believe in building a community of like-minded families where our children can grow and thrive together.
