co-op

We are a Charlotte Mason Co-op meeting in Kalkaska, MI once a week. Mothers have an active role in helping with the co-op. We have classes such as folk dancing, nature drawing, artist study, solfege, etc.

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!

Hosted by Arcadia Park Schole, an 8-year CM co-op community in Fort Worth, this workshop will present encouragement and advice for starting and maintaining CM communities. Saturday, April 12, 9:30am-1:30pm, Arlington, TX, $25. For more information, please submit request and/or see the details and registration form at the link provided.

We are a cooperative learning community that uses similar books and curriculum at home throughout the week and meets once a week to learn together through science experiments, mapmaking, Shakespeare, art instruction, history reading and narration, poetry and composer study, and more. Groups are available for students ages 6+.

We are a gathering and networking place for all CM homeschoolers in the Greater Phoenix metro area and surrounding cities. Connect with others in the area to find like-minded families, join mothers' books studies, nature clubs, co-ops, and other meet-ups, along with AZ specific info like cultural events, AZ history sites/books, and nature hikes.

A community of families pursuing the true and good life through a CM lifestyle and education. This co-op will not be “enrichment” but it will feature the parts of the CM feast best done in community and often overlooked in the hustle of normal life. Included within this group is a mama book club reading through CM's volumes and related books. Applications are open on a rolling basis and admission is available between each term.

A Charlotte Mason homeschool co-op which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays and covers subjects such as Bible, history, artist study, nature study, music, writing, and more for middle school students

I would love to start a Charlotte Mason co-op, nature study/hiking group, and/or a mom's book club. I've been a part of all three in the past, and I've loved my experiences! If you'd like to join me in building a CM community in the Sunapee region, please reach out. My kids are in elementary school and below, but I would welcome friendships with moms that have older kids too!

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.

We are a community of homeschooling families that meets together for Preschool-Highschool classes taught using Charlotte Mason's principles on Thursdays in Orange, CA. Parents participate as volunteer teachers, and serve in various other volunteer roles.
