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!

Abundant Feast Community (Mama Book Club, Co-op, & Natural History Club)

A community of families pursuing the true and good life through a CM lifestyle and education. Our community is centered on our Mama Book Club which meets monthly to discuss and grow through CM writings and conferences. Our co-op is not “enrichment” but features the parts of the CM feast best done in community and often overlooked in the hustle of normal life. Our Natural History Club meets to explore local natural areas through hikes, object lessons, physical geography, and field trips. Applications are open on a rolling basis and admission is available between each term if spaces are available.

Co-op, nature group, book club

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!

Nature Group and Book Club in East Lewis County

Fall 2023 - We are starting a weekly nature co-op for homeschooling families - whether you use Charlotte Mason inspired books/curriculum in your home, or not! We will be meeting weekly through the school year for an explorative nature walk and free play, and ALSO meeting monthly for a book club and discussion group (book club is for parents but children are welcome to attend!).

Nature CO-op:
All ages are welcome here! Our weekly meetings will be loosely structured with optional nature journaling and more involved wilderness activities/skills for older children. We will be primarily meeting at my family's campground (just outside of Morton), and once a month we will have an off-site field trip to various outdoor locations. Our current meeting time is Friday mornings from 9am-12pm, but we are flexible and open to other suggestions! If you would like to join and can commit to coming weekly please let us know if there is a better time for you.

Book Club:
The club is held monthly, in my home, and children are welcome to join. We meet the second Monday of every month at 4pm for discussion and potluck - please bring a dish/snack to share :)

Living Books Fellowship

2023-2034 is our inaugural year.

We will meet in St. Charles, MO, 24 times in the school year, on Thursdays.

We are a cooperative - each mom must lead a subject/class.

Families must have an oldest student of age 12+, we are targeting families with "older" school age students, to meet a need of a weekly, in-person, academic co-op.

We base our classes on Ambelside Online Group Forms.
