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!

Nature Study Club

We are a group of Charlotte Mason homeschooling mothers and their children who meet bi-monthly to study and appreciate nature together. We are based in Brazoria County and use the Handbook of Nature Study to guide our learning. After a discussion about our topic and an object lesson, kids get the opportunity to play and explore outdoors. Then the group enjoys a sack lunch together.

Open to home-schooled students ages six and up and their younger siblings. This is not a drop-off program. There is no cost to attend. Lessons will be taught from a Christian perspective.

Magnolia Schoolhouse

Magnolia Schoolhouse is a conservative Catholic faith-focused Charlotte Mason homeschool co-op. We are parent-run and led, focusing on children of all ages from preschool to 12th grade.

Magnolia Schoolhouse believes in the old schoolhouse mentality, where many children of varying ages can learn together and from each other. We offer weekly outings and weekly group co-op lessons where children can build friendships and socialize, as well as meet-ups for nature study and art and even weekend family day trips. We also give support to parents who are homeschooling for the first time or homeschooling multiple children in the Catholic faith, along with Charlotte Mason's methods and philosophies. We believe in building a community of like-minded families where our children can grow and thrive together.
