The Feast of Wonders
To all Charlotte Mason Homeschooling Mamas in Greenwich and surrounding areas!
Starting on Tuesday, May 12th 2026, we are beginning a local gathering for families who are currently using—or are genuinely interested in—the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education and who desire to build community around a shared commitment to Christ and His Word.
The Feast of Wonders is a monthly time set apart for Mothers and children to come together and share in a “living education” through Nature study, Poetry, Music, Art, and focus on the Lord and Scripture. This gathering is especially suited for children ages 6 and under, though older siblings are welcome to join and enjoy the feast.
The purpose of this gathering is to cultivate and strengthen a Charlotte Mason community in our area—one marked by simplicity, beauty, and a shared commitment to this way of learning, and a like-minded community of families who seek to order their homes, education, and lives in submission to Scripture and a living faith in Christ.
Our afternoons will include a brief Chapel gathering for prayer, hymns and a short reading of the Scriptures. A nature walk to a nearby park for observation, journaling and snacks, and a gentle indoor time of picture study, music appreciation, poetry, and living book readings.
Every Month we will focus on a specific theme. The month of May will be "flowers".
Location: Greenwich - CT.
- Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
- Frequency: Monthly
(Possibly transition to a Bi-weekly/Weekly Co-OP in the Fall/New Year)
If you are a Charlotte Mason family—or are sincerely interested in learning more about this approach—we would be glad to connect with you.

We are a small group of homeschooling parents committed to providing quality education in music and arts in Northeast Ohio. We hope to launch a self-sustaining Truth, Beauty, and Goodness group in Fall 2026 at St. Innocent Orthodox Church in Olmsted Falls, OH.

St. Augustine, FL
Out-of-Doors Nature Club
We are a small structured nature group in St. Augustine, FL. Our meetings are bi-weekly (every other week) at the moment but some have expressed interest in meeting more often. We pick a special topic each term and meet-ups start with a short, casual lesson on the topic before exploring and adding to our nature notebooks. Option to stay after for lunch and free play. There are a few optional nature notebook supplies recommended and a small supplies fee. We meet both at my house and various parks in the St. Augustine area.
We are also looking to start a more formal one-day-a-week enrichment co-op using the Simply Charlotte Mason Together curriculum at the start of 2026. If you are interested in teaching one of the enrichment subjects, please let us know which subject (peruse the SCM Together curriculum on their website for subjects). We are happy to run a monthly Charlotte Mason book group concurrently so we can all learn the Mason philosophy and how to best implement it.
All ages welcome for the Nature Club and co-op.

Arlington, TX
Commonplace of Arlington
Come and chat with us this year!
We are working through "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: celebrate the good and share ideas for those more-difficult spots. We meet two Saturdays each month and
have occasional outings and events for parents and children. Plans are also underway to start a brand new co-op in the Fall of 2026.
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!

Danvers, MA
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!
