Arrows of Heritage Homeschool Group
Raising and educating children in faith, wisdom, and purpose, honoring Psalm 127:3-5
Christian Based
Family-Style Learning
Inspired by Charlotte Mason
Our Mission:
Arrows of Heritage Homeschool Group exists to equip and inspire families in their homeschooling journey by providing a Christ-centered, community-driven environment where children grow in faith, knowledge, and character. Inspired by the Charlotte Mason philosophy, we emphasize ideas and concepts that inspire critical thinking and personal growth, fostering a love for learning through living books. We also encourage spiritual growth by integrating Scripture study, prayer, habit training, nature study, service, and gratitude, while fostering character development and reflecting God's presence in daily life. In doing so, we are raising and educating children in faith, wisdom, and purpose, honoring Psalm 127:3-5.
Our Purpose:
This group is a shared interest community, founded by a homeschooling mother, committed to supporting families on the rewarding yet challenging path of homeschooling, inspired by the Charlotte Mason philosophy. We emphasize high-quality, engaging lessons within a supportive, faith-centered community that values learning and fellowship. While homeschooling is central to many families, it is a demanding task that requires a community to encourage and exemplify what day-to-day at-home education can look like. Whether large or small, families often have one parent teaching and guiding each child in a home setting. The beauty of the Charlotte Mason approach is its shorter, focused lessons that maintain children's attention and prioritize quality over quantity in learning. Our group, rooted in faith and the call to raise children in the way of the Lord, offers a family-style learning environment. This group has been organized as a model to encourage at-home education
Friday's 10am - 2pm
Parent-Led Group / Parents are expected to commit to a Volunteer Role
Cost: Split Cost of All Curriculum and Materials.
*Cost Varies on the amount of Group Members based off of split cost.

Charlotte Mason NorCal
CM NorCal was formerly called CM West. Given the growth of the CM Community on the West Coast, we decided it was time for a new name and a smaller regional focus. Our commitment to encouraging growth and fostering community continues and we look forward to meeting you at an event in the near future.
We host single-day events for educators to meet new people and explore the riches of a Mason education. We offer encouragement for local groups and connect with others to help form or grow your group and learn from other communities. We plan to offer educational retreats and overnight retreats to help educators delve more deeply into Mason’s principles and practices.
Please join our mailing list so you will be notified about our next event!

Charlotte Mason Monterey Bay
Charlotte Mason Monterey Bay is a community of home-educating families dedicated to implementing Charlotte Mason’s philosophy in their homes. All levels of understanding are encouraged and welcome!
In alignment with Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy, this group upholds a biblical worldview, affirming that the Word of God is true and serves as the foundation of our beliefs.
Our purpose is to encourage and support families who are committed to learning and applying Charlotte Mason’s philosophy. While we warmly welcome those who are curious and exploring, our focus is on cultivating a community that is growing deep roots in Mason’s living ideas. We serve families in the Monterey Bay and Central Coast region, including Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito Counties.
We encourage involvement in two ways *ENGAGED* or *ROOTED*:
🌻ENGAGED: is intentionally designed as a starting place—a space for families to observe, learn, and begin discerning whether Charlotte Mason’s philosophy is the right fit for their home. It’s not a static level, but a seasonal stage of growth.
Purpose: To offer an open door for the curious and new—to learn, and begin practicing Mason’s principles in small practical ways. We desire to cultivate a community where growth is intentional.
Families newer to Mason’s philosophy often begin at the Engaged level, taking time to learn and gently apply her ideas. Others may step directly into the Rooted level, already convinced of the life-giving nature of this method. Your journey will be unique to your family. Whatever the path, our hope is for each individual member of the family to experience personal and relational growth.
ENGAGED Offerings
* Study Group
* Nature Group
* Occasional Seasonal Outings / Family Gatherings
*Study Group (Parents Only)
Our study group is the heart of our community. Each month, we come together to thoughtfully study Charlotte Mason’s volumes, and this shared learning is what anchors everything we do. Because of that, consistent participation and commitment to the study group is a prerequisite for involvement in the broader offerings of our community.
*Monthly | Second Monday of each month at 7PM
*Nature Outings - Nature study, nature walks and outdoor exploration.
- Fridays at 10:30AM, every other week
🌻ROOTED: is for families who are actively pursuing and applying Charlotte Mason’s philosophy in their homes, or those whom are ready to. This level reflects a shared commitment to grow in understanding, build meaningful community, and walk in a common rhythm of living education.
Purpose: To provide a steady, supportive community for families practicing Mason’s method - where shared habits, conversations and experiences nurture both the heart and the home.
ROOTED Offerings
* Study Group
* Nature Group
* Scouting
* Book Club
* Field Trips
* Enrichments
* Mother Culture
* Community Outings
* Family Gatherings
✨Community Standards for all levels of engagement ✨
We understand that finding a group that truly fits your family’s needs can be challenging—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we offer the flexibility to connect in two ways. Community cannot grow without intentional connection. So before making a decision…
We ask that you:
* Prayerfully consider if this is where the Lord is leading your family in this season.
* Commit to CMMB as one of your primary homeschool groups
* Study Group participation
* Participate in at least 2 offerings to build community (rooted community)
We look forward to connecting with you!
Arlington, TX
Commonplace of Arlington
This is a discussion and support group for parents who are interested in or are already using the philosophy of Charlotte Mason in their home school.
We will start in August of 2025 with "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 and celebrate the good as well as share ideas for those trouble spots. Meetings will be one Saturday morning each month.
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!

Cottage Co-op
Cottage Co-op is a riches co-op for students aged 6 to 12 years old.
Our Friday meetings begin with gathering all together as families for
our folk song and hymn, announcements, and benediction.
Forms 1 & 2 enjoy time in Collective learning about a classic poet, artist,
and composer. Forms 1 & 2 also alternate weekly between nature study
or handicrafts. Both forms then end their co-op day with a game time
devoted to play, listening skills, and folk dances.
A typical Kinderleben class spends the first portion playing outside
making mud pies, rolling around in leaves, and searching for the largest
worms. We come inside to read stories and poems, recite a bible verse,
and learn new fingerplays. We might play with wooden train tracks or
clay, or practice sewing before all working together to clean up.

Open House – Learning pod for 1st -3rd graders
Dear family in Jesus, :)
My husband, Peter, is the teacher for this pod. He is trained under Ampleside. And Joanna is the mom who is hosting it in her home. You will find her lovely blog here: http://heartforchristschools.blogspot.com/2025/02/our-journey-with-glenbrook-christian.html.
The reason I’m excited to share this learning pod opportunity with families is because I think that they would appreciate its uniquely nurturing and Christ centered setting. Because it is very small, the children receive quality attention to help them flourish in every way. The learning experience encourages them to interact with Jesus in every moment and idea as they discover their full and beautiful design in His likeness.
Look forward to meeting you and your child in person! I will have the pleasure and honor to be spending time with the little ones during open house. I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for more than 15 years.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about this and please do share widely!

Charlotte Mason Study Group (CMSG)
WHO: The CMSG promotes Mother Culture through a community of parents that reads through a rotation of Charlotte Mason’s volumes.
WHEN: We meet monthly in the homes of our gracious hostesses in various regional locations to discuss the assigned readings.
WHAT: We focus on one book at a time to examine deeply the wisdom and philosophy of the author. We offer mutual encouragement and support in our homeschooling journeys.
WHY: We are ‘waking up to our duties and in proportion as mothers become more educated and efficient, they will doubtless feel the more strongly that the education of their children during the first six years of life (and beyond) is an undertaking hardly to be entrusted to any hands but their own. And they will take up as their profession—that is, with the diligence, regularity, and punctuality which men (and women) bestow on their professional labours. That the mother may know what she is about, may come thoroughly furnished to her work, she should have something more than an acquaintance with the theory of education, and with those conditions of the child’s nature upon which such theory rests. “ (Volume 1 pg. 2-3)
Join us to ‘keep growing and filling our minds’ as we study the writings of Charlotte Mason. We have multiple regional groups in Mecklenburg County. To find a location near you or for more information, email us at ReedyCreekReview@gmail.com.
