Charlotte’s Circle

This group was created for Charlotte Mason families to have a nurturing community to grow with - children and moms alike. To help achieve this goal we meet out of doors every Thursday throughout the year at local parks for free play, hikes, sharing of riches, field trips, and more.

As a dedicated homeschooling meetup group in Northern Virginia, we value the strong relationships we've built with our community over the years. It's more than meeting once a week. We seek to do life together.

Nature Study & Habit Lessons Co-op

Hi fam! We are a group of homeschool families who value community. We meet at the park every Wednesday (9:30am to 12:30pm until it gets too cold; then 1-4 in the winter). If the weather is bad, group will be moved indoors.

We begin with 30 minutes of free/play time. Next, we move into a habit lesson from Laying Down the Rails for Children, followed by a nature study. The remaining time is for fellowship.

All ages are welcome. Feel free to reach out with questions.

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 :)

Willow Creek Gathers Co-op

Our co-op is a mother-led co-op of families that are involved to teach and support each other's children and parents. We laugh together, as well as cry together because that's what this group has become, community united and linked like a family.

We are a group in the upstate of SC, meeting in Duncan, to provide a living education, education is the science of relations. We view children as a complete person and teach them with rich curriculum and help them grow with gentle formation of knowledge and character. Charlotte Mason summed up her teaching in three words, beautiful, expansive, and efficient.

Outside of co-op days, we want to 'do life' with each other and connect frequently. In addition, the moms meet regularly for the sake of the children to learn more about the Charlotte Mason method as well as strengthen our bonds. Family nights are also offered as it's vital for the whole family to have a supportive community and socialization.

Spread the Feast: Memphis Charlotte Mason Community

“We spread an abundant and delicate feast in the programmes and each small guest assimilates what he can” (Charlotte Mason, Vol. 6, p. 183).

(PLEASE NOTE: We currently have a waiting list to visit and join our community. Please reach out to learn more about this process and be put on the waiting list.)

Spread the Feast Community is a community for home educators and families in Shelby County and the surrounding areas interested in learning about the Charlotte Mason method and philosophy of education. Our primary goal is to be a place of encouragement for parents on their homeschooling journey, and to grow in community with one another.

We also provide learning opportunities for the children such as clubs, meet-ups, and field trips, so they too can grow in community and friendship with one another. Spread the Feast is open to all that are interested in learning more about the Charlotte Mason method and philosophy of education. We welcome CM veterans, those transitioning to CM, those that are just beginning to learn about CM, those that are simply curious about CM, and everyone in between.

We host an evening book discussion once a month for parents (and "babes in arms” welcome) where we read and discuss the Charlotte Mason volumes or books about her philosophy. We also have mother culture and family events, clubs (scouting, nature), nature outings, "early years" meet-ups, and more!
